Plurriterial broken fracture of the tibial plate and the head of the perone of the left leg. It sounds a bit like a sentence. Above all 10 months from the winter dream to 5 rims cradled by Federica Brignone so common from all over Italy. And so, 4 years later, the story repeats itself.

And the Bergamo skiers even succeeded in the company to present himself at the start of the Olympian event of Beijing despite having waken the knee less than 30 days earlier. He literally completed a company – also seasoned with a crazy second place – but was facilitated by the fact that a strand of ligament remained and the fractures were not so decomposed as to request a longer stop. However, the company still had some sensational. And Brignone? If everything were to go how it hopes (they will operate it already tonight in Milan) the recovery times would be between 6 and 8 months, that is, it would be able and enrolled about 90 days from the Olympics. Brignone will have about a month and a half to get on the skis and try the titanic feat of being competitive. While the others will have already pumped their muscles and fed medal dreams in the regular season. But in sport it happens. To Italians very often.

TO Gianmarco Tamberi We should give it to Honorem an Olympic bonus medal, because if Tokyo won the most beautiful gold together with Barshim, at least one is missing, before and after the Japanese triumph: the 2016 Olympics jumped due to the breakdown of the leg a few weeks after the street and in the recent Parisian games, after losing the faith in the Senna during the opening ceremony (a rear of the hidden … It was sensationally braked with kidney colic that forced him to compete in pitiful conditions.

Stories of sport, stories of sensational comebacks. Because Italians have it in DNA the art of opposing the adverse fate. And Federica Brignone will enroll in the club with the class and the determination of all time, woe to doubt it.
