ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “The choice on races? No, there has not yet been, surely he will make the giant.” Maria Rosa Quario, former skier and mother of Federica Brignone, guest of “Radio Anch’io Sport” on Rai Radio 1, reveals what the feelings of her daughter are just a few days from the beginning of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics. “The motivation to be at these Games is also to make the flag carrier, was one of the springs to make it work even more – he explains – I think he would have done it anyway after the incident of 3 April. His first goal was to heal, but there was also the agonistic goal to achieve. He did it, burned the times, according to everyone was almost a miracle. The first giant had been very encouraging, with the sixth place. The fast races, the test of the descent and the SuperG to Crans-Montana a little less, because Faith has realized that it is still a little behind especially in the aspect of trust. Tomorrow he will go to Cortina and will do the tests of the descent to evaluate how he feels and if to try to make the descent. Last year he had done an incredible downhill season, he had won the World Cup. But it is the discipline in which she arrived later and the one in which she struggles to return. You go faster, there are more risks, you have to be really ready and trained. You cannot improvise.”.
Even if yesterday she felt a little distrusted after the last race, Maria Rosa Quario assures that the Valdostana champion is “determined to continue his recovery path. He won’t give up, he leaves nothing intent, not only for the Olympic goal. He always said he didn’t want this injury to end his career.” In the blue group also the very young Giada D’Antonio: “I don’t want to argue, but I disagree with this call. This girl has great talent, a fantastic future, she has proven to be strong technically and head. But he has no credentials to be summoned to the Olympics.” Finally on the blue possibilities in Milan-Cortina Chiosa: “I would say very well. In the male alpine skiing the Bormio track is very suitable for Paris, Franzoni, Casse and Schieder. Downhill and SuperG have a lot of chance to do well. I also see women well, especially Sofia Goggia: the track of Cortina is one of its absolute favorites. And then from biathlon to short-track, from skating to curling, from snowboarding to freestyle to cross-country skiing with Pellegrino, we have many important medal cards. We hope to be able to overcome the twenty pronosticated medals.”.
