TRENTO - Laura Pirovano once again excelled in Val di Fassa. The Trentino native repeated her success in her second downhill run and returned to the top step of the podium after 24 hours. The podium, however, was closely contested: the Italian, Cornelia Huetter, and Corinne Suter were all within 5 hundredths of a second. Fourth place, Breezy Johnson, was 64 hundredths behind. Nicol Delago finished ninth (over 1" off the lead), with Sofia Goggia eleventh. Laura Pirovano's second World Cup victory is also her second podium: before this weekend, she had numerous placings, but no highlights.

CORTINA - A superstar Federica Brignone wins the gold medal in the Super-G at the Milan-Cortina Olympics. Ten months after a serious injury involving a fractured tibia and torn knee ligament, the Aosta-born champion returns to prominence as Italy's top skier. On the Tofane slope, she beat France's Miradoli by 0.41 seconds and Austria's Huetter by 0.52 seconds. The historic Italian day was further enhanced by a strong fifth-place finish from Laura Pirovano and a seventh-place finish from Elena Curtoni. A fall, however, stopped Sofia Goggia. The spirit of a champion, like that of her mother, is in 35-year-old Federica Brignone's DNA.
