[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row foundry_padding=”pb0″ el_class=”team-center”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]THIS IS ME<\/strong> I was born in Milan on July the 14th<\/sup>. My birthday is the same day as the National Day in France, where I used to celebrate it when I was a kid, thinking that all those fireworks were in my honor!<\/p>\n I began skiing when I was one and a half years old, walking with a plastic pair of skis wherever it was possible, mostly on the carpets of our flat in Milan. When I was 2, in a narrow road behind my grandparents\u2019 flat in Courmayeur, I had a lot of fun going down like a plane and stopping against a wall of snow at the end of the \u201cslope\u201d.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On February 1994, leaving for Lillehammer for the Winter Olympic Games where she worked as a journalist, my mum left me in Courmayeur with my grandma Adriana, who put me in the ski school. They had to change me into a different class every day, as my progress was so quick!<\/p>\n In July 1996, when I was 6, we moved from Milan to Aosta Valley in the small village of La Salle, and I enrolled at the school and also the ski club in Courmayeur. In 1997 I won my first race, the social end-of-year race.<\/p>\n Skiing has always been a great passion for me. I went mad when my parents didn\u2019t wake me up in the morning, during the Christmas holidays, because they thought it was not a good day for skiing, or to let me rest for a while. I never feared the cold, the wind or the stormy conditions. Skiing in powder snow was for me the best thing of all, training between poles was not my favorite thing, but I loved doing any kind of competition, also stupid ones like the longest jump!<\/p>\n It would be too long now to tell you all my story as a skier; when I was a kid I thought that winning a world cup race would be a piece of cake, I couldn\u2019t imagine how long and hard the way would be to even go and race with the best in the world!<\/p>\n My very first big satisfaction was 4th<\/sup> place in the Italian national GS Topolino Trophy and the consequent qualification for the international race. I confirmed that good result a few days later winning the superG in the Italian national championship in my category. It was 2005.<\/p>\n My dream has always be to become an allrounder skier, good in every discipline, and in 2009 I realized it was possible, as I won the gold medal at the Junior World Champs, in the combined, and did points in all disciplines in the European Cup. Same thing happened to me already, at the highest level, in the World Cup. It was also a great accomplishment to be able to win races in GS, Super G and Combined. The road is still long and difficult, but I\u2019m on it and I don\u2019t want to stop now\u2026[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_masonry_media_grid style=”lazy” grid_id=”vc_gid:1641973406064-273172db620502ad32b54b533593b0b7-1″ include=”2126,2127,2129,2130,2131,2133,2134,2135,2136,2137,2138,2139,2140,2141,2142,2143,2144,2145,2146,2147,2148,2149″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1458130446198{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text] FEDERICA [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row foundry_padding=”pb0″ el_class=”team-center”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]THIS IS ME Born in: Milano On: July 14th 1990 Place…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2174,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-172","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.federicabrignone.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.federicabrignone.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.federicabrignone.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.federicabrignone.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.federicabrignone.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=172"}],"version-history":[{"count":26,"href":"https:\/\/www.federicabrignone.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/172\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3605,"href":"https:\/\/www.federicabrignone.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/172\/revisions\/3605"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.federicabrignone.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2174"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.federicabrignone.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
