Federica Brignone beams after silver in the Super-G: An emotional celebration!

At the World Super-G Championships in Saalbach, Austria, 22-year-old Lauren Macuga dominated with her impressive performance. Macuga secured the bronze medal, the first for an American skier in her first World Championships appearance since 1993. "It's just crazy to see my name up there," she said enthusiastically. Macuga showed aggressive riding, setting the fastest time in the first section before missing slightly at the end of the course but recovering in a flash.

Federica Brignone from Italy was happy about an important triumph with her silver medal. “I did my best,” said the 34-year-old. Even though it wasn't her favorite technique, she could still cheer: "That was my big goal!" Kajsa Vickhoff Lie of Norway, who already won bronze in 2023, shared third place with Macuga. “It's much nicer to win this medal than to miss by a hundredth,” Lie remarked with a smile.

A remarkable success for Macuga

Macuga's success is timely, with the Milan-Cortina Olympics exactly a year away. The young athlete, who had already won two Super-G competitions in Copper Mountain, is optimistic about the future: “After I won the World Cup, I realized that I have the talent for it.” She was able to overcome the excitement and hold her own in the ordeal of the competition.

Amid the celebrations, her achievement and that of her colleagues could not be overshadowed. There will be a small celebration for Brignone with family and friends while Macuga looks forward to her future career. A great atmosphere permeates the alpine ski scene - a graphic example of how dazzling the world of alpine skiing can be.
