Federica Brignone triumphed in the Zauchensee race, achieving her eighteenth career success. A fast Super-G (1'10"84) and a phenomenal performance by Federica, who brushed the turns of the central part, making the difference in the most technical part, fundamental in a race with very close gaps.

Corinne Suter (SUI) scared Federica, finishing just four hundredths behind the Italian, thanks to a super recovery in the final part. Ariane Raedler (AUT) conquered the first career podium with third place, and she was 17 hundredths behind the leader.

The Super-G speaks Italian in the women's Alpine Ski World Cup. The first three positions in the Super G standing are occupied by the Italian women's with Sofia Goggia in the lead ahead of Federica Brignone and Elena Curtoni.

Sofia Goggia, fortunately on race mode after the fall in downhill, sits in 19th position.

From Austria, we move on to our Italian neighbours for the races in Cortina d'Ampezzo.
