The 34-year-old, one of Italy's leading medal hopes at the Games, fractured her left leg and tore knee ligaments when she crashed into a gate during a race in the Italian championships. "I would like to say that I will be present at the next Olympics, but as of today I don't know. I am working for that too, but my health comes first of all," Brignone told reporters in the medical centre in Turin on Tuesday. "It is difficult to make any predictions, because there are many steps and we don't have any precise schedule," she said, adding that she remained confident and positive. Brignone, who is walking with clutches, underwent surgery after the crash in April. "As of today we can rule out a further operation, Federica had a major injury but the ACL is fine," said Andrea Panzeri, president of the medical staff of Italy's winter sports federation. The 2026 Winter Olympics, co-hosted by Milan and the Alpine town of Cortina d'Ampezzo, run from February 6-22. REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

World champ Loic Meillard victorious for 2nd straight day, closes in on season slalom title
Social Sharing World champion Loic Meillard won the season's penultimate men's World Cup slalom Sunday as the Swiss skier boosted his chances of taking the discipline title. Meillard overcame a big mistake early in his final run and held on to his first-leg lead as he beat Atle Lie McGrath of Norway by 0.21 seconds. Lucas Pinheiro Braathen was 0.47 back in third. "It was a wild second run with a few mistakes. I just wanted to fully attack, maybe even too much," said Meillard, who also won Saturday's giant slalom on the same hill in Hafjell, Norway. "It's a dream for a tech skier to win both days, GS and slalom, and for it to happen this weekend is pretty amazing." Meillard's sole previous career World Cup victory in slalom came in Aspen, Colo., a year ago, though he took gold at the worlds in Austria in February. Calgary's Erik Read and Montreal's Simon Fournier were among 18 athletes to not finish the first run. Henrik Kristoffersen, who leads the discpline standings, won both the GS and the slalom at the previous tech weekend in Slovenia two weeks ago. On Sunday, the Norwegian placed fifth and saw his advantage over Meillard reduced to 47 points with only the season-ending race remaining at the World Cup finals in Sun Valley, Idaho on March 27. WATCH | Meillard takes men's World Cup slalom in Norway: Loic Meillard wins second straight alpine race in Norway 2 hours ago Duration 2:20 A day after topping the giant slalom field, Loic Meillard wins the slalom race at the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup stop in Hafjell. Kristoffersen will secure the title if he finishes third or better in that race, regardless of Meillard's result. "It's still a big gap," Meillard said. "So, he has to fail it a little bit and I have to do something very special like today. So, it's really a nice fight until the end." The only other racer left with a chance to win the season title is Clement Noel. The Olympic champion from France finished seventh and trails Kristoffersen by 86 points. A race win is worth 100 points. Kristoffersen has won the slalom title three times in his career, most recently in 2022, but it would be the first career slalom globe for either Meillard or Noel. WATCH | Full replay coverage of Sunday's 2nd slalom run: FIS Alpine Ski World Cup Hafjell: Men's slalom run 2 5 hours ago Duration 1:29:48 Last year's slalom champion, Manuel Feller, skied out in the first run, but the Austrian was already out of contention for the season title before the race. Racing on a hill where he skied many times in his youth, Pinheiro Braathen earned his fifth podium result since taking a year off and returning to the circuit this season following a switch from the Norwegian to the Brazilian federation. "I had so many training runs here, so many of my fundamentals come from here, Hafjell," said Pinheiro Braathen, who is chasing Brazil's first-ever triumph in a top-level ski race. Hafjell hosted World Cup races for the first time since 2003. Swiss star Marco Odermatt, who locked up the overall and giant slalom titles on Saturday, does not compete in slaloms. The race wrapped up the regular World Cup season ahead of the finals for both men and women in Sun Valley, Idaho, which open with the speed events next weekend. WATCH | Meillard captures giant slalom on Saturday: Loic Meillard wins giant slalom in Hajfell, Swiss teammate Marco Odermatt wraps up season titles 1 day ago Duration 4:14 Loic Meillard took the top spot in Hajfell to lead the Swiss sweep of the podium. With Marco Odermatt's second-place finish, he wraps up the giant slalom and overall tour titles.
