ROMA (ITALPRESS) – The short but incredible racing season of Federica Brignone ended in Soldeu. The Olympic bi-season of supergiant and giant in Milan Cortina 2026, back on track with crazy results after the bad injury of 3 April 2025, decided not to take part in the next stages of the World Cup scheduled from Friday 6 to Sunday March in Val di Fassa, neither to the next weekend of Are of 14/15 March (gigante and slalom) and the finals in Norway from 21 March.
“I think I have asked my body a lot over the past few months – says the Carabinieri valdostana – From the very day when I was injured I have dedicated myself to the goal of participating in the Milan Olympics Cortina 2026, obtaining the double result of bringing the tricolor flag and climbing the podium. I even did it on two occasions, climbing above all on the highest step of the podium. I tried to continue the season, but now my body is showing me the bill.” “So I take advantage of the season now at the end of the line to give me a break and then continue to the best rehabilitation, which was logically forced throughout this time to arrive at the miracle that we were able to accomplish. I thank all those who believed in the Olympic dream and allowed me to stand up and participate in this season,” Brignone ends.
The Italian team will present itself with Sofia Goggia, Laura Pirovano, Elena Curtoni, Nicol Delago, Nadia Delago, Roberta Melesi, Asja Zenere, Sara Allemand, Sara Thaler and Ilaria Ghisalberti. The program includes two descents Friday 6 and Saturday 7 March, followed by a supergiant Sunday 8.
