Federica Brignone is back on skis in Cervinia.
The news that all ski fans have been waiting for has arrived, and this time it is true, after last week’s sensational hoax, denied by FISI, that the doctors’ okay had already arrived: Federica Brignone has now really received it and is back on skis in Breuil-Cervinia.
At 237 days after the most serious injury she suffered in her career, a fracture of the tibial plateau and the head of the fibula of her left leg during the second run of the giant slalom of the Italian absolute championships in Val di Fassa that she was dominating, the Valle d’Aosta star chose the home snows for her first approach on the snow.
The website gazzettamatin.com reports the confirmation of the news, which came directly from mom Ninna Quario, who specified that with Federica there are her brother-coach Davide, skiman Mauro Sbardellotto and physiotherapist.
Federica Brignone last season brought home her second overall World Cup, downhill and giant slalom, as well as winning 10 races, and also won gold in giant slalom and silver in super-G at the World Championships in Saalbach-Hinterglemm. Now it is hoped that she can be present at the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympic Games next February.
