Italy's Federica Brignone on Thursday won the Super-G world cup after coming 19th in the last race of the season in the speciality at Courchevel in France. She was assured of overall victory before the start. Brigone also came third in the overall World Cup standings for all disciplines behind Mikaela Shiffrin of the USA and Petra Vlhova of Slovakia, and ahead of her compatriot Sofia Goggia, who won the downhill world cup.

"I'm very excited today and it's been great, it was my dream forever," said the 31-year-old Milanese, who became the first Italian woman to win the overall World Cup in 2020. "Obviously I would have liked to have won it with a great final race but it didn't happen for me. I'm happy anyway: the Cup is the combination of a season that went great, above all in superG. "I can't wait to celebrate".
