Federica Brignone is back! He warmed up towards the Winter Olympics and achieved a sixth place in the first race after the terrible knockout

«I leave San Vigilio happy, trust will be built calmly». Federica Brignone said this in the parterre of the ‘Erta’ slope in San Vigilio di Marebbe after the sixth place obtained in the World Cup giant slalom, the return race 292 days after the multi-fragmentary displaced fracture of the tibial plateau and the head of the fibula of the left leg sustained in the forklift during last year’s Absolute Championships in Val di Fassa. A result that is incredible in light of the few days of training (only thirteen) and the short time that has passed since the serious injury and subsequent surgeries. «Crossing the finish line and seeing green with the emotions and tension that I experienced today was special – said the Aosta Valley skier, standard-bearer of the Carabinieri -. Really, I never thought about today’s result, I was already happy to be here. Then we will evaluate further, but at the moment the plan is to go and train in Cortina for speed and understand where I am at.”
