Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy — Federica Brignone and Sofia Goggia dominated hosts Italy on the Olympic course in Milan-Cortina next year.
Brignone dominated Sunday’s World Cup super-G following Goggia’s downhill victory a day earlier, when Brignone was third.
Meanwhile, Lindsey Vonn had another difficult day on the Olympia delle Tofane course as she fell on her way to a record 12 wins.
But Vonn, who returned to the circuit last month at the age of 40 with new titanium knees almost six years after retirement, avoided injury and got right back on his feet.
Brignone was 0.58 seconds ahead of Olympic Super G champion Lara Gut-Behrami and 1.08 seconds ahead of Olympic downhill champion Corinne Suter.
Brignone and Goggia, who have already won downhill gold at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, are positioned to follow in the footsteps of their Swiss rivals Gut-Berami and Suter at the 2026 Olympics, which will be held in Cortina for women’s skiing and Bormio for men’s skiing. there is.
Brignone also increased his lead in the overall standings.
Vonn told The Associated Press on Thursday that he plans to retire again after next year’s Olympics.
