The 26 year old from Valtellina, excluded from the national team after a post-injury year practically in the pits, works hard at the Stelvio with a special coach: Michelangelo Tentori.

She still wants to try, convinced that at 26 years her career is far from a conclusion that would be too bitter, after that terrible injury suffered on January 27, 2019 in the controversial descent of Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
Tibia and fibula in the left leg made Federica Sosio suffer the pains of hell, who during the past season had to stop practically immediately, to end up under the knife again, after her debut in the European Cup in Kvitfjell. The physique was not yet ready, while now the Valtellinese sprinter sees the light at the bottom of the tunnel: Fede started skiing again in July on the snows of his home, those of the Stelvio; outside the national team, the super-g junior champion at the 2015 world championships in Hafjell rolled up his sleeves and, albeit with the support of the Army sports group, relied on Michelangelo Tentori to start again.
Yes, the former blue already engaged with the boys of the Central Alps Committee and who decided to face "a real challenge, for me and for her - Tentori had told in a recent interview with" La Provincia di Como "- The goal is to bring Federica back to where she deserves to be, taking one step at a time starting from the Stelvio".
With the best result in the World Cup dating back to that 10th place in the combined Crans-Montana of February 2017, you can only try to wear a bib again in the maximum circuit. It will be even harder to conquer it, even if the federation has reiterated that the doors are open even for those who are no longer part of a national team: Sosio, that door, wants to open it as soon as possible.
