Federica Brignone Wins Gold in Giant Slalom at Alpine Ski World Championships

Italy's Brignone triumphs in Saalbach-Hinterglemm as Lena Dürr secures a top-ten finish for Germany, boosting her confidence ahead of the upcoming slalom event.

Federica Brignone claimed gold in the women's giant slalom at the Alpine Ski World Championships in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Austria, with a dominant performance.
Alice Robinson of New Zealand took silver, finishing nine-tenths of a second behind Brignone, while American Paula Moltzan earned bronze, over two and a half seconds off the lead.
Germany's Lena Dürr achieved a ninth-place finish, a strong result that provides her momentum heading into Saturday's slalom, where she is considered a contender for a medal.
Dürr's result comes after a disappointing error in the team competition earlier in the week, which cost Germany a potential medal in the event.
Defending champion Mikaela Shiffrin did not compete in the giant slalom due to lingering effects of a recent abdominal injury and insufficient training time.
