Federica Brignone injury and recovery

Overview

Olympic alpine skier Federica Brignone has expressed uncertainty regarding her professional future due to ongoing physical health concerns. Following surgery on August 25 to remove a metal plate from her left leg, Brignone has been undergoing rehabilitation. During the Festival dello Sport in Trento, she emphasized that her priority is her physical well-being, stating, “O sto bene, o sto bene. Non voglio zoppicare e farmi male” (Either I am well, or I am well. I do not want to limp and hurt myself).

By late October, it was confirmed that Brignone will miss the World Cup giant slalom opener in Sölden on October 24, 2026. While she has not set a specific date for her return to competition following surgery on her left knee, she remains motivated to compete again.
