Italy have two gold medals from two women's events at the 2023 Alpine World Ski Championships after Marta Bassino clinched the Super-G crown in Méribel, France, on Wednesday. Two days after Federica Brignone took the combined title, Bassino produced a brilliant run – notably in the lower sections of the Roc de Fer slope – to top the event.

In cold and sunny conditions, the Italian did not have the quickest start of the athletes, with the top of the run more suited to speed racers. However, the giant slalom specialist - who has never won a World Cup Super-G - dealt with the technical turns in sectors 3 and 4 of the course to cross the line in 1:28.06. "Today is really a perfect day, I'm still a little bit [disbelieving]," Bassino said after the race to FIS TV. "I'm really happy with my skiing and how I put my ski together on this slope.
