Laura and the smile that never fails: "I'll cheer on my companions. When I felt that knock in my knee ..."

In the next few hours, the intervention for Pirovano: his words and the shower of encouragement received that moved her.

The crusader broke without falling, almost 4 years after that day in Cortina, when the story was very different and the other knee involved was the right one. Laura Pirovano is absorbing the blow of having lost the entire Olympic season, overcoming the weekend she lived on crutches, after the injury remedied on Friday in training in Soelden. In the next few hours there will be an intervention to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee, then the long rehabilitation phase will begin, which the sprinter from Trentino knows well and will face with the usual determination. At Rai Sport, during last night's “Domenica Sportiva”, the blue talent explained what happened: “In a curve I felt a“ knock ”in my knee and I immediately realized that something was wrong with my knee. Unfortunately in our sport these things happen and we have to accept them; now I will keep these crutches and I will cheer on my teammates, then I will come back ... ”. Laura was also keen to thank all those who encouraged her: “In the last two days I have been overwhelmed by love and beautiful words. You helped me to fix the most broken part: my heart ”.
