Brignone’s manager: “Just a problem of television times.” The ski champion couldn’t even mention her Italian teammate and Milan-Cortina 2026
Yellow for Ariston. The audience did not miss a small but not insignificant change of script at the end of Federica Brignone’s speech on stage. On the electronic “prompter” visible in the room there were also greetings for Sofia Goggia, whose season was stopped by a serious injury in recent days, with a fracture of the tibia and malleolus and the year ended early after an operation. But Brignone did not utter that ending. Since the strong rivalry between the two champions was known, mischievous interpretations immediately arose: forgetfulness, a deliberate choice or a cut due to time constraints?

Federica Brignone’s manager, Giulia Mancini, assured that it was the third hypothesis: “Just a problem of time. Unfortunately they didn’t even let her speak. These are television times”. In fact, the champion, who arrived on stage with a ski helmet in hand, did not mention that she was expected not even at the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics and she gave the impression of wanting to speak at a certain point. However, she was preceded by Marco Mengoni who intervened by saying “I have never been on the snow, never been on skis”. And all three (including Amadeus) presented Loredana Berté.
