The wonderful sporting and human story of Federica Brignone, the Winter Olympics' oldest gold medalist ever Thursday in the Super-G at the Milan Cortina Games, 315 days after a horrific accident in which she shattered her left leg, is being made into a film, sources said Friday adding that it will feature the self-styled monicker that she wears on her helmet, a tiger, in the title.
    Filming is already underway after the Italian athlete's team long since signed a deal with a major production company, the sources said.
    The film is scheduled for release next autumn.
    Brignone won the women's SuperG at Milano Cortina 2026 on Thursday, securing her first Olympic gold and pulling off an epic sporting feat having only just returned to action after breaking her leg in the nasty fall in Val di Fassa in April.
