Federica Brignone Back on Snow in Supervised Runs as Olympic Push Resumes

Medical clearance opens a cautious on‑snow phase with brief supervised runs.

Overview

  • Brignone completed two short sessions at Cervinia/Le Breuil using tourism skis under FISI oversight, describing the work as a starting point.
  • FISI said she will alternate gym training with further piste days in the coming weeks, emphasizing stability and confidence rather than competition.
  • The return comes about eight months after an April crash that caused fractures to the tibial plateau and head of the fibula with capsulo‑ligament damage.
  • She is not expected to race before January, with Olympic selection still possible under FISI rules even without in‑season competition results.
  • Lara Gut‑Behrami has been ruled out of Milano‑Cortina with a knee injury, a development reported to improve Brignone’s medal outlook.
