US EditionItaly's Federica Brignone Completes Comeback, Claims Gold in Women's Super-G at Winter Olympics
- On Thursday, Feb. 12, 2026, Federica Brignone, Italian skier , won the women's super-G on the Trofane course in Cortina d'Ampezzo, posting 1:23.41 for her first Olympic gold.
- Weeks earlier, Federica Brignone's participation was in doubt as recently as three weeks ago after a double tibia fracture from her April 2025 crash, and she had raced only four times before Thursday's super-G.
- Starting sixth gave Brignone an edge on degrading snow as several top contenders failed to finish, including Breezy Johnson, while she finished 0.41 seconds ahead of France's Romane Miradoli with Cornelia Huetter earning bronze.
- The victory gives Brignone her fourth Olympic medal, tying Deborah Compagnoni for most by an Italian women's skier, and Italy's fifth gold of the Milan‑Cortina Games, witnessed by Sergio Mattarella.
- She has a shot for double Olympic gold this Sunday, as giant slalom world champion Federica Brignone, one of Italy's opening flag bearers, won super-G last year at La Thuile.
