Alberto Tomba: Federica Brignone like Bologna

Italian skiing legend, Alberto Tomba, has shared his admiration for Federica Brignone with Tuttosport. He discusses his sport and the excitement he and Italy as a whole are feeling due to Brignone’s achievements.

Tomba compared Brignone’s success to that of his favourite football team, adding, “It’s early to talk about it, but yes, for me, she can go all the way and win the Cup again. I wish her that. It seems to me like a fairy tale like my Bologna under Thiago Motta, who wins by playing well and is in the Champions area.”

His remarks underline his belief in Brignone’s ability to continue her phenomenal form in the world of skiing, and exhibit her potential to replicate the successes of his beloved Bologna Football Club under manager Thiago Motta.
