Sofia Goggia confirmed her place as the Alpine queen as she added super-G gold to her downhill title at the World Cup in Val D'Isere.

The 2018 Olympic champion had earned her third downhill World Cup title of the season on Saturday, .
Goggia was the fifth skier to complete her run in France and had to wait for the likes of 2019 super-G world champion Mikaela Shiffrin to go to confirm her place at the top of the standings.
In the end, the Italian finished 0.33s ahead of Mowinckel for her third Val d'Isere podium, with compatriot Curtoni rounding out the top three.
Federica Brignone could not complete an Italian 1-2-3 as her time of 1:19.75 saw her miss out on bronze by just one-hundredth of a second, however she did do enough to keep Shiffrin in fifth place.
Goggia now sits 93 points clear of Brignone in the super-G World Cup standings, with Curtoni's bronze moving her up to third for an Italian clean sweep with four races completed.
