Federica Brignone said her energy was
running low ahead of Tuesday's last giant slalom race of the
season at Sun Valley where she will be trying to add that title
to her globes in the overall and downhill categories, overtaking
New Zealand''s Alice Robinson who is 20 points ahead of her.
"I arrive here with less energy but I will still try to give my
best for two runs, the result will not change my season anyway,"
said the 34-year-old from Val d'Aosta, Italy's winningest women
skier.
"My mind is completely free. It will be a race where we will
have to be very active in the first part, then we will find
medium slope with a section that has not been used for the fast
races, I will try above all to have fun", said Brignone, who has
now won two overall World Cup titles, this year and in 2020.
"To be ready for the giant I tried to recharge my batteries on
the only rest day after the super-G," where she was pipped to
the title by Swiss Lara Gut-Behrami.
"I have never been beaten this year in the giant when I reached
the finish line, unfortunately mistakes are worth zero points
and this year I went out three times (Killington, Kranjska Gora
and Kronplatz, ed.)," she recalled
"My mental energy was very depleted, it was a super demanding
year from the point of view of general stress rather than from
the physical aspect, for which I feel good".
