Bologna, 10 November 2024 – Federica Brignone is leading the World Cup after victory on debut in Salesa historic and comeback triumph, but from November onwards we will get to the heart of things, especially with the North American trip that the Tiger of The Room is preparing in great detail. Wedding ring he will not be in the race neither in Levi next week nor in Gurgl in two weeks’ time, assuming the track can be prepared in Austria given the high temperatures, but rather he will resume from the United States where he will also compete between the narrow posts. Brignone herself stated this at an awards ceremony in recent days in her town, La Salle, where she practically always lives when she is not competing or in retreat.
Brignone: “I will also do slalom”
After a short break with a few days of vacation, Brignone has started working again and will leave for the United States where it will take place a long retreat for the North American stages: “We will have six races overseas and we will leave on November 30th with the Killington giantbut I think you will also see me in slalom”, Brignone confirmed. She has missed training between the tight posts, but Fede wants to try. She had a couple of sessions scheduled but Matilde Lorenzi’s tragedy made her return early. Now on to the US withdrawal: “We will be able to do it speed workouts on longer routes and we will find dry snow – again Brignone, as we read on Neveitalia – Then we will return to Europe and on 21 December there will be the Saintkt Moritz stage”. The American women’s calendar includes Killington, giant slalom and slalom Mont Tremblant in Canadatwo giants, and finally Beaver Creek with downhill and super g. Goggia will also return to the race in Beaver. Still remaining on the snow, but moving to the bottom, another sensational return could happen soon. If noalpine skiing Hirscher and Braathen have returned, and Vonn is thinking about it too, in the background there is a Petter Northug once again focused on training sessions which suggest something more than the long distance races he has continued to compete in in recent years. Norwegian yes retired in 2018 but in these days he was together with Klaebo, the current ruler of the cross-country skiing and his successor, on the snows of Livigno. Klaebo himself has hinted that his compatriot could return for the 2025 Trondheim World Cup where together they would have the chance to compete in the team sprint. Northug, now 38 years old, has won two Olympic golds in his career and 13 world golds with two general World Cups and a total of 52 podiums in the top circuit with 29 victories (20 at individual level).
