"Federica Brignone tasted gold medal glory at the Winter Olympics on Thursday, and AC Milan are already making plans to welcome her. Brignone's is one of the stories of the Games so far, given that less than one year ago she suffered a crash that threatened to derail everything. The Italian tore her ACL and broke multiple bones in a slalom crash in April, and it was unknown if she would even feature in the home Olympics."
"However, she came back in January 2026 and began to find her form again, building up to the fairytale in the Milano-Cortina Games as she won the gold medal in the Olympic Super G yesterday. As La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews) report this morning, Brignone is a huge Milan fan, and the club have already reached out to make arrangements to host the skiing champion at San Siro or Milanello. Other Italian medalists such as Franzoni, Paris and Rizzo are also fans of the club, so could join her."
"In 2019, Federica Brignone was interviewed on the club's social media channels, and she shared her passion for the Rossoneri. "My grandmother is a Milan fan, as are my mother and my brother. We've always followed the games, but now it's a little more difficult because he's often away, so it's hard to keep up with him," he said. "I remember, however, that when we were younger, we'd all watch the Champions League and the Serie A together on the sofa. Those were great memories. I'm still a Milan fan, for better or for worse. "I hope they continue to improve and try to redeem themselves; my dream would be to see them back in the Champions League.""
Federica Brignone suffered an April slalom crash that tore her ACL and fractured multiple bones, casting doubt on her participation in the home Olympics. She returned to competition in January 2026, regained form, and won Olympic Super-G gold at the Milano-Cortina Games. AC Milan have reached out to host Brignone at San Siro or Milanello to celebrate her victory, and other Italian medalists who support the club could join. Massimiliano Allegri publicly acknowledged her achievement. Brignone previously expressed deep personal support for Milan, recounting family memories of watching Champions League and Serie A together.
