"And the good thing about sport is that meritocracy still applies because the stopwatch is something that cannot be influenced in any way. And especially in our sport which is all (about) this and so, for this reason in our sport there is a lot of respect and there is competitiveness but it is such a healthy competitiveness, because in any case in no way can we influence the performance of others."

7. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Federica Brignone, Gold medallist in women's giant slalom:
"I am here with two medals around my neck having done something totally different. Not that I wasn't a professional, otherwise I wouldn't have been on the track. I haven't lost a day of physio therapy, and I've never worked so many hours in my life. On the other side I didn't undertake the perfect preparation, I didn't train on the days I wanted."

9. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Federica Brignone, Gold medallist in women's giant slalom:
"At this moment in my career I don't much want this (attention). I have to admit that, at this moment I would like after ten months like this, not a simple break, that is. I gave everything, the only thing I would like is to be a little quiet."

"I definitely have dreams in my life. For the moment, my dreams have spoken more about sport. But one of the first things I want to do, and that I have been saying for years, is to go on a trip, to stay away as long as I want and how I want, without having to return for commitments."

13. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Federica Brignone, Gold medallist in women's giant slalom:
(Speaking of Lindsey Vonn)
"In the meantime I was sorry. I know what it means to get hurt I can say, and certainly everything she had set up to return was a great adventure and she was good and very courageous to try it. Sometimes I wondered if a few wheels were missing, but also seeing what happened to me, I understand that she has this passion for sport and I also think that her typical attitude is better in life - to fail trying than not trying, right? Clearly...and here we end the Lindsey speech."

STORYLINE:
Italian skier, Federica Brignone, won a second gold medal at her home Winter Olympics on Sunday, dominating the women's giant slalom final in Cortina d'Ampezzo after coming back from a career-threatening leg injury.

"I am here with two medals around my neck," Brignone said speaking to reporters on Monday.

"I haven't lost a day of physio therapy, and I've never worked so many hours in my life. On the other side I didn't undertake the perfect preparation, I didn't train on the days I wanted," she said.

She said she now wanted "a little quiet" and the ability to take a long trip without having to return for training commitments.
