Federica Brignone of Italy added another World Cup title to her collection on Tuesday, winning the Giant Slalom Crystal Globe. The 34-year-old skier from Val d’Aosta claimed the prestigious title after finishing second to Switzerland’s Lara Gut-Behrami in the season’s final race at Sun Valley.

Brignone’s performance allowed her to surpass New Zealand’s Alice Robinson, who had entered the event with a 20-point lead over the Italian but skied out in the first run, ending her chances.
