Federica Brignone Faces Injury Setback

Federica Brignone will decide in mid-May whether she needs knee surgery after a serious injury.

She suffered several broken bones in her left leg and a torn cruciate ligament at the Italian Ski Championships in early April.

Federica Brignone gave an insight into her state of health following the injury.

The Italian skier had already undergone an operation for the broken bones.

The leg is fine, although life was complicated with the accident, said Brignone.

She has started rehabilitation and the operation went well.

Federica Brignone dedicates herself to rehabilitation and physiotherapy every day.

She does exercises at home both in the morning and in the afternoon.

The 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina remain a key goal for Federica Brignone.

She is determined to prepare as well as possible for this event, despite the pressure of competing in her home country.

Federica Brignone recently had her stitches removed and can start swimming again next week.

She meets up with friends, organizes picnics, reads, and puts ice on her knee to aid her recovery.

The first two months will be important for her rehabilitation, according to Brignone.

She won the overall World Cup and the crystal globes in the downhill and giant slalom this season.

Federica Brignone criticizes the format of the 2026 Winter Olympics, which will be different from previous games.

The Olympic Games will be more like a big World Cup or World Championships, she said.

The skier from Valle d'Aosta is preparing for the pressure of competing in her home country.

Federica Brignone will focus on her rehabilitation to ensure she is ready for the 2026 Winter Olympics.
