This Finn trains in Norway. It would probably be better to send 2-3 of our juniors to Norway, pay the local federation and let them train there. Maybe something will come of it. We should have given money to the Colturi team and now we would be in a much better situation than we are now. France: 2 win for Celement, 4 place for Amiez. You can see that there is progress, and here? 19 Vinatzer? This is a joke. 

Croatia, Bulgaria and even the UK have skier in the top 10 today. The UK doesn't even have mountains with snow. Can you fall any lower than we do? If the UK had mountains like ours they would be the best in the world.

Nothing will come of this Italian slalom. It's getting worse every year. The Italians' style of riding is simply not suited to the current times. It's too slow. One Lara Colturi will earn more points for this 2nd place than the entire Italian men's and women's slalom team by the end of this year... I would give money to the Colturi team than to the entire squad of these mediocre skier.

I take it you haven’t been following along with the Summer Grand Prix? Frantz won bronze in Wisla back in September, not that surprising. 

As of today Rodlauer is doing worse job than Colloredo

Lara Malsinier- 20, Annika Sieff- 32... Results similar to last season, with the difference that Malsinier swapped places with Sieff. 

Goggia and Brignone also already have private teams, so the federation is actually only responsible for the results of Bassino and Curtoni at the top. The way our federation works on the example of slalom I think that us to assume that Colturi's talent could also be wasted...

I remember Kalle Palander and his rivality with Giorgio Rocca in 2006.  

If I say what I think about some federal executives of the Italian Winter Sports Federation, I'll get a lawsuit.   On Colturi, it was her and Ceccarelli's choice, I will still consider it a wasted opportunity. But even if she came back to compete with Italy, I would not cheer for her. Everyone makes their own choices, and Colturi preferred the freedom of having sponsors and private teams.
