Federica Brignone, resignation date set: "Thank you all"

Federica Brignone will be discharged from the “La Madonnina” clinic in Milan on Tuesday, April 8. The Aosta Valley skier, who has been hospitalized since last Thursday after the bad accident during the Assoluti d’Italia, underwent surgery for a compound fracture of the tibia, fibula and medial ligaments of the knee of her left leg.

The Italian champion will speak to reporters waiting for her outside the clinic, then return home, where a long road to recovery awaits her, hoping to successfully participate in the Milan-Cortina Olympics.

“As usual, I do things big or I don’t! This time I’ve made it big (in the negative). I wanted to thank those who rescued me on the track, those who helped me in Trent, the Fisi medical team who operated on me and those who are taking care of me here at La Madonnina Clinic”, he wrote.

“A thank you to all of you who are writing to me, fortunately I have a lot of friends who keep me company and make me laugh”.
