Overview
- In a mid-July interview with L'Equipe reported by major Italian outlets, Brignone said her body "will never fully recover" from the serious spring 2025 injury.
- She described constant pain and trouble walking and said she cannot run or put full weight on the injured leg.
- Her current training is limited to cycling, swimming and gym work while she continues therapy and rebuilding muscle.
- Brignone plans to try skiing in early August and has a ticket to join the Italian team's Ushuaia camp in September but will only race if pain proves tolerable.
- The injury, a fracture to her lower leg in spring 2025 that required surgery and left a plate in place, has slowed recovery and leaves uncertainty over her World Cup participation even as she eyes the 2027 World Championships.
