LA THUILE, Italy — Italian ski star Federica Brignone has closed the gap to leader Lara Gut-Behrami in the World Cup super-G standings to 45 points. A race in Italy on a shortened course has been won by German prodigy Emma Aicher on Thursday. Aicher earned her second career win by edging Sofia Goggia by 0.06 seconds. Brignone had a wild ride to finish third. She was 0.08 seconds ahead of fourth-placed Gut-Behrami. There are two super-Gs remaining this season. Lindsey Vonn fell early in her run but appeared unhurt. Aicher's victory came less than two weeks after the all-event skier triumphed in a downhill in Norway.
