At 25, Federico Liberatore had to go through quite a lot, not least the operation last February for a form of foraminal hernia that stopped him practically a few hours from the World Cup slalom in Schladming, who jumped to the last moment.
At that point, the Val di Fassa slalom rider decided that the intervention was now inevitable, he who had already suffered from back problems in previous years. Over 4 months later, here he is finally on the snow of the Stelvio: last weekend, Fede left with an individual job and obviously caution, to officially kick off the season in which to try, even if it will be anything but an undertaking. simple, to win an Olympic pass.
He is no longer in the cadres of the World Cup team, but Liberatore has still been included in the B1-B2 lineup of technical disciplines, essentially that of the young people of the European Cup who will have many possibilities even in the maximum circuit, from Franzoni to Della Vite up to to the Trentino specialist himself, who in the 2020/21 vintage did not collect any points between the continental circuit and the CdM, competing for practically a month or so.
Recall that the blue had lived the best season of his career in the previous one, with the first points in the World Cup in Chamonix in that extraordinary comeback that took him up to 11th place, winning before and after the French slalom in European Cup, between Vaujany and Berchtesgaden. "The past few months have been tough - with back surgery, but I'm still fine - Liberatore said on social media - I'm really happy to be back on the snow".
