Skiing: Top start to worlds says combined winner Brignone

(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 6 - Italy's Federica Brignone said Monday that winning her first world championship gold medal in the combined was "the top".
    "Starting the World Championships like this is the best. Now they will no longer tell me 'your trophy cabinet is missing a gold medal', but above all I am very satisfied with my performance. That's also why I was moved and it doesn't happen often," said the 32-year-old from Milan to Rai state broadcaster.
    "In the other editions I was never at my best, but now I feel 100%.
    "I was charged up and I managed to do what I hoped.
    "Today I promised myself to bring out the slalom skier in me and I succeeded". (ANSA).
