Federica Brignone is on track for Olympics, mom’s word

“Whether Federica will make it for the Games? No one can know, I think not even she”: the word of Ninna Quario, former skier and mother of Federica Brignone speaking today to Tutti convocati on Radio 24.

“The question everyone is asking is how he is doing, whether he will make it. I can tell you that I looked at a video he put on Instagram, of the work he is doing these days, and I would say that we are there, because he is starting to lift weights, to use his leg in a real way, not just doing re-education and physiotherapy, because to ski you need two good legs. Nowadays even more so, you can&#8217t risk going on the slope if you are not more than athletically prepared. So what I saw pleased me”.

“I’m the last one to ask Fede how he is, if he’s going to make it, because if not he sends me to lay down – adds Quario on Radio 24 -. I think we are on the right track, I don&#8217t know yet when he will try skiing and there it will be a very important test for how he will react his leg, his head, whether he will be afraid or not but I don” think not.

“I think if she is physically well and she can recover. Then, from there to say that she will make it for Milan-Cortina…normally one trains eight months for the Olympics and she started a week ago…” concludes Brignone’s mother.
