Brignone Wins Cortina Super-G, Vonn Crashes

Federica Brignone claimed her first World Cup victory at Cortina d'Ampezzo by winning the super-G race with a time of 1:21.64, solidifying her overall lead in the standings. The win was celebrated by the home crowd, as she showcased her remarkable form this season. Lindsey Vonn, making her comeback after retirement, crashed in the third sector but emerged unharmed, expressing disappointment as she was on track for a strong finish. Switzerland's Lara Gut-Behrami and Corinne Suter finished second and third, respectively, as Brignone and Gut-Behrami renew their rivalry.

Brignone's victory follows her third-place finish in the downhill event the previous day, reinforcing her strong position in the super-G standings.
