The further serious injury was found during the intervention.
Everything worse: Skir racer Federica Brignone was successfully operated on after her serious fall at the Italian championships, but another serious injury was found. The overall World Cup winner has also suffered a tear of the front cruciate ligament in the damaged left knee. The Italian Ski Association Fisi announced this. This will be “evaluated in the next few weeks”.
“I will have to face a new challenge that I will have grown as always,” said Brignone in an explanation. The conditions on the route were “perfect”. If she could, she would “do the same but try not to fall”.
Brignone seriously injured after falling
The 34-year-old had fallen in Val di Fassa in the second run of the giant slalom on Thursday and had suffered a multi-fragment fracture of the shin head and the fabric’s head for ten months before the Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo. The San Raffaele hospital took place in Milan on Thursday evening, and a tendon injury also had to be treated operatively. The surgeon used a plate and screws.
Federica Brignone dominated the World Cup in the past season and secured the large crystal ball and victories in the departure and giant slalom rating with a total of ten wins. At the World Cup in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, she won gold in the giant slalom and silver in the Super-G.
Brignone will start “in the next few days” with her rehab, the FISI said. Until the winter games in your home country, it will probably be a race over time.
