Brignone receives the desired special status

After the giant slalom in Lenzerheide, the spirited Italian didn't mince her words and said: "I don't know if you'll see me next year." She didn't care and it didn't make much sense in such a state to compete in races. The woman from La Salle didn't say anything specific, but it became clear that she was particularly unhappy with the training conditions in the so-called elite group with Sofia Goggia and Marta Bassino, who, unlike Brignone, are very close friends. That's why it receives a special status for the new season. Although the all-rounder still appears in the elite group in the teams published by the winter sports association FISI, Brignone's name is marked with an asterisk. “Programma dedicato”, i.e. special program, is attached. Gianluca Rulfi, leader of the elite group, joins us in an interview Sciaremag Clarity: “We give Federica the opportunity to train quietly, outside of the elite group, should she prefer that in certain moments,” explains Rulfi: “It’s good that she finds the best setting so that she can concentrate on skiing and that “When asked about the last season, Rulfi says that it makes no sense to “go into the reasons that bothered her again, also because it is her personal situation.” thick air Rulfi also makes it clear that Brignone's focus is entirely on the Olympic Games. The program will be tailored to this, but he cannot reveal details yet. The latter had already recently said that Brignone would no longer train with Bassino and Goggia often in the future when she said that the team only consisted of her and Bassino. The new season will show how these hardened fronts between Italy's ski stars and the new training conditions affect performance.
