Sestriere: Federica Brignone on Saturday clinched her second World Cup giant slalom victory in two days in Sestriere to boost her overall lead at the top of the standings. She displayed remarkable consistency, securing her win ahead of competitors Lara Gut-Behrami and Alice Robinson, who finished in second and third place, respectively. Italy’s Sofia Goggia narrowly missed the podium, finishing in fourth place.

According to Ansa News Agency, Brignone’s victory on Saturday followed her success in the giant slalom at the same venue on Friday.
