It still remains to be seen if she can compete for host Italy at the Milan Cortina Olympics in February.

Brignone was injured in a giant slalom crash at the Italian championships on April 3 – meaning she hadn’t been on snow for 237 days.
She also won the downhill and giant slalom World Cup titles last season; and was second in the super-G rankings.
Women’s Alpine skiing at the Feb. 6-22 Olympics will be held in Cortina d’Ampezzo.
