Facchinetti, head of the Fisi press office: “Federica is a tiger, is suffering but the mood remains high”
“Federica is a tiger, in the true sense of the word: she is suffering, but she never falls down.” After the bad injury remedied this morning during the second round of the Italian giant championships, Federica Brignone arrived at the La Madonnina di Milano nursing home, ready to undergo the last exams and, probably already in the evening, to the inevitable intervention. “He greeted me with a smile – explained Andrea Facchinetti, head of the Fisi press office -. He is sorry, but the mood remains high”.
A few days after the conquest of the general world Cup, the second of her career, the Aosta Valley was the protagonist of an accident this morning in Val di Fassa. Transported immediately by helicopter to the Trento hospital, Federica underwent the first investigations that highlighted the multi -faced broken fracture of the tibial dish and the head of the perone of the left leg. Subsequently, he was transferred, always by helicopter, to Milan, where around 18.30 he reached the Madonnina.
The skier arrived on board an ambulance and, lying on a stretcher, was transported inside the clinic. Dr. Andrea Panzeri, president of the Fisi medical commission, immediately submitted it to new checks, and then immediately proceeded to the surgery.

“We decided to operate it immediately – said the president of the Fisi Medical Commission Andrea Panzeri -. I do not hide, the fracture is a demanding fracture, the bone broke significantly but she is strong, fortunately it is healthy, it has never been done badly before today. We go to the operating room and then afterwards I can tell you more, now it is difficult to make forecasts for recovery times we can understand how we can reduce the fracture. More precise or later or tomorrow morning.
