Brignone repeats his triumph by winning the chaotic second giant of Mont Tremblant

Sports editorial, Dec 3 (EFE).- The Italian Federica Brignone repeated Saturday’s victory and won the second of the two giants of the Alpine Ski World Cup scheduled this weekend in the Canadian resort of Mont Tremblant, which will be resolved this Sunday with a chaotic second round marked by strong wind, snowfall and very poor visibility.

Brignone achieved her twenty-third victory in the regularity competition and improved, 24 hours later, her own record as the oldest winner of a giant – at 33 years and four months – by winning, after having been sixth in the first race, with a time of two minutes, eleven seconds and 95 hundredths. Exactly 33 less than the Swiss Lara Gut-Behrami, second this Sunday; and with 39 hundredths of an advantage over the American Mikaela Shiffrin, who completed the podium and continues to lead the overall World Cup standings.
