So Federica Brignone presented herself on Tuesday evening at the evening dedicated in her honor to Casale Monferrato, with the champion of La Salle guest in the Canottieri Casale club, for an event in which the "hosts" Corrado Momo, coach, also took part. of the Spanish men's national team, and Valentina Margaglio, the blue lighthouse of the skeleton who experienced a great 2021/22 season with the first podiums in the World Cup. In front of the many enthusiasts present, it was Dario Puppo who interviewed Federica, who will resume preparation on the snow in the next few hours. “I will do 4-5 days a month from now, then at the end of August we will be in South America. Yes, I still have a lot of fun and I am definitely motivated, I have already started working for a month and I will work with the same setting of the last few years ".

Brignone is very keen to do well throughout the season, on the other hand we are talking about the only Italian woman able to conquer, in over half a century of history, the absolute crystal ball. “The calendar is really tight and very hard - adds the Aosta Valley player - Especially for multipurpose teams like me, the commitments will be continuous, with 41 races in total.

Indeed, in Méribel, Fede won the last giant of the 2021/22 cup, that of the finals. And the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics? Really too early to be unbalanced, even if in recent months the Italian champion had basically ruled out her participation. “It will be in four years, I don't know now if I'll be there. I want to compete only if I'm able to win, I'm not interested in leaving the gate just to say I've participated. We will see year after year ”.
