Federica Brignone Resumes On‑Snow Training 237 Days After Injury

Medical clearance allowed a brief low‑load test at Cervinia under a staged rehabilitation plan.

Overview

  • After months of work at J‑Lab/JMedical in Turin, the FISI Medical Commission authorized her to add controlled on‑snow work to her recovery.
  • The April crash left her with a multi‑fragment tibial plateau and fibula head fracture plus medial capsulo‑ligamentous and ACL lesions, with the ACL managed conservatively.
  • In Cervinia she completed roughly four easy runs totaling about 40 minutes on non‑race tourist skis to assess stability and sensations.
  • The session was monitored by coach Davide Brignone and FISI lead physiotherapist Giuseppe Abruzzini, with further progressive tests planned weather permitting.
  • Competition timing remains undecided, and participation in the Milano‑Cortina 2026 Olympics is still an objective yet unresolved outcome.
