Brignone won the overall World Cup for the second time last season before suffering tibia and fibula fractures as well as a ruptured cruciate knee ligament in a crash at the national championships in early April.

It's unclear yet whether Brignone will be fit for the 2026 Olympics on home soil in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo in February.
She recently said she hasn't giving up on the Olympic dream yet and that she's working "really hard" for it.
