Aare: Italy’s Federica Brignone continued her hot form and consolidated her lead at the top of the overall World Cup standings by winning the Giant Slalom race in Aare, Sweden, on Saturday.

According to Ansa News Agency, this victory marked the 36th World Cup win of the 34-year-old Brignone’s career and her ninth win of the current season. Her consistent performance has earned her 1,294 points, placing her 322 points ahead of her closest competitor, Lara Gut-Behrami of Switzerland, who finished ninth in the race.

The event took a dramatic turn as Brignone’s teammate, Sofia Goggia, crashed out during the second run. Goggia had been positioned second after the first run, trailing Brignone. Despite the setback for Goggia, Brignone’s victory further solidifies her commanding position in the overall standings.
