Federica Brignone undergoes leg surgery ahead of new season

Italian Alpine skier Federica Brignone is having another leg surgery today to address ongoing pain after her recovery from a broken left leg. Brignone, who won two Olympic gold medals in February, announced that the surgery aims to remove a plate and possibly address meniscus issues. The first World Cup race of the season is set for October 24 in Soelden, Austria, though Brignone's availability remains unclear. She previously underwent surgeries in April and July 2025 following her injury from a giant slalom crash.
