Italy's Federica Brignone won the giant slalom at Sestriere Friday to notch her record-extending 33rd WC win and boost her lead at the top of the World Cup standings.
Italy's winningest ever World Cup female skier had finished the first run in second place behind New Zealander Alice Robinson, but recorded the best time in the second run, finishing in the lead with a total time of 2'12''69, ahead of Robinson (2'13''09) and Norway's Louise Tjernsesund (2'14''26).
The victory came after the 34-year-old from Milan's recent success in the giant slalom at the World Championships at Saalbach in Austria.
Brignone now has 33 World Cup wins, second only to the great Alberto Tomba on 50.
Brignone won the World Cup overall title in 2020, becoming the first Italian female to achieve this feat
