How to come back from a career-threatening injury with snowboarder Michela Moioli

How to come back from a career-threatening injury with snowboarder Michela Moioli

Italian Michela Moioli felt nervous ahead of her first Olympic snowboard cross final at Sochi 2014.

Those nerves turned to despair as her medal hopes were crushed when she crashed heavily.

Aged just 18, her career was in jeopardy after suffering a torn cruciate ligament in her knee.

But, she dedicated herself to making a comeback and, four years later at PyeongChang 2018, she won gold.

We spoke to Michela about pasta, post-Olympic blues, and Beijing 2022.
