Cortina d'Ampezzo: Federica Brignone completed a Winter Olympic fairy tale on Sunday after claiming her second gold of the Milan-Cortina Games, as out-of-sorts Mikaela Shiffrin again missed out on the medals.
Italian veteran Brignone started her home Olympics by being one of her country's flag bearers for the opening ceremony, and she made history on the piste by becoming the first Italian woman skier to win gold in two events at the same Games after triumphing in the giant slalom.
The 35-year-old was already the new Olympic super-G champion and her achievements in Cortina d'Ampezzo are all the more remarkable for her having barely recovered from a broken leg suffered 10 months ago.
She joins men's skiing icon Alberto Tomba as the only Italians to take double gold in the same Games, Tomba winning the slalom and giant slalom in Calgary in 1988.
"I'm so without words that I don't really know what's going on," said an elated Brignone.
