Annasofie, a Champion in a Brace: Determination on Ice
Annasofie began skating at the age of just four, inspired by admiration for her older sister. From her very first steps on the ice, she showed remarkable balance and a deep passion for figure skating — a passion she now pursues with six training sessions a week, both on and off the rink. Her commitment recently earned her a silver medal at the Italian Championships, despite being diagnosed with congenital scoliosis at the age of eleven.
Figure skating demands great dedication and intense training — qualities Annasofie has demonstrated from a very young age. She tackles each day with courage, following a tailored physiotherapy programme that includes specific exercises and wearing the Sforzesco brace (ISICO) full-time, except during on-ice training.
This brace, designed to fit seamlessly into daily life, allows her to move freely, study, and continue training without compromise.
Her perseverance has paid off: after two years of consistent effort, she has seen improvement not only in her posture but also in her control and balance on the ice. This year has brought great success for Annasofie — she placed second in the final of the Italian Gold Division Championship, confirming her status as a rising star in figure skating.
Congratulations to our young patient — a truly exceptional athlete!
