She came back once again, with the desire to go upstream after that dive into the void, in the true sense of the word, which saw her suffer a devastating accident for her career. Today in Davos, in the new appointment of the "itinerant" Swiss championships, Federica Sosio wore a bib again, almost 12 months after the attempt to return to Kvitfjell, in the European Cup, 20 months after that 27 January 2019 in which the fall in the discussed descent of Garmisch-Partenkirchen caused her the tibia and fibula rupture of the left leg. While the Swiss combined title went to the '97 class Katja Grossmann, who beat the very young Darbellay and Hoepli, Italy placed some athletes in the top 30 (Jole Galli 17 ^, Monica Zanoner 27 ^ and Giulia Albano 30 ^), but it is really worth underlining what Sosio did, the best of the blue (even if she is not part of the national groups) with her eighth place, after the 16th obtained in super-g. The 26-year-old from Bormio ended up under the knife again after that attempt last winter, then resumed in the summer thanks to the support of G.S. Army and a new coach to follow her, Michelangelo Tentori. And on Thursday, in the FIS super-g always scheduled on the snows of Davos, there will be another good opportunity to test.
