Brignone adds Canada to list

Federica Brignone, a three-time Olympic and world championship medallist, won in Canada for the first time in her career Saturday, skiing to gold in the women’s giant slalom at Mont-Tremblant. The Quebec resort is hosting its first World Cup alpine event since 1983. “I’d never made the podium in Canada,” the 33-year-old Italian said. “It’s a new course, a new place, there’s a lot of people … amazing.” Slovakia’s Petra Vlhova was 0.21 seconds behind to claim silver, while Mikaela Shiffrin of the U.S. was third.
