Italy's Brignone to be rested for Spindleruv Mlyn giant slalom

SPORTS 21.01.2026

Giant slalom world champion Federica Brignone will be rested for the upcoming races in Spindleruv Mlyn, after making her injury return this week, the Italian winter sports federation (FISI) said on Wednesday.

Text size:

Brignone, 35, finished sixth in the giant slalom in Kronplatz, Italy on Tuesday, nine months after suffering a double leg break which seriously damaged her Olympic hopes.

Brignone and former Olympic downhill champion Sofia Goggia, 33, will sit out Saturday's giant slalom and Sunday's slalom in the Czech Republic.

"Both Sofia Goggia, who is currently training on speed, and Federica Brignone, who is continuing her full recovery after her successful return to competition in the Kronplatz giant slalom, are taking a break," FISI said.

The Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics opening ceremony takes place on February 6.
