Alpine Skiing FIS World Cup 2024 - 2025

[copravolley 643]

The problem of the Italian federation is that her system doesn`t work and we can`t afford to lose talents like Colturi. Our slalom does not exist, whether among women or men. We are currently at a level under that Croatia in women and Bulgaria in the men's category. There is no progress, in fact there is regression, because while Vinatzer often didn`t finish runs a few years ago, when he did finish he was able to be in the top. Now he either doesn`t finish or is around 20th place, like now. In the women's category the peak of our abilities is Peterlini, who regularly placed around 20th place in the World Cup... If we can`t afford to invest more than Albania and that with the Winter Olympics in a year at home, so I think we can really dissolve our ski sector and focus on something else... If the federation is satisfied with such low levels, let them continue

 

Btw. maybe it's better investing in private teams like Colturi, if it works? I'd like have 1-2 Colturi in private teams, who will stand on the podiums of the World Cup, than a national team consisting of 5-6 average skiers, who can take 20th place at most, if they finish the race at all...

Noel- 1st place today after 1 run, Amiez- 3rd place... Vinatzer is a talent similar to Noel, so I ask where are his results, where are the other skiers in the lead of classification? Did they really think they would ride on one Gross and Razzoli until 2026?

He certainly has greater potential than our entire squad put together, including Vinatzer.

Italian boy places in I run: 20, 21, 25 - Vinatzer. Someone will probably not finish the second run and it will be just like yesterday with the women.... I`m definitely not satisfied... The last time we won the men's slalom in 2017 - Manfred Moelgg and it will not change soon. Our only skier with huge potential - Vinatzer has been completely lost in slalom in the last 2 years. In total, I think I will skip see the 2nd run. I`m waiting for the competitions with Goggia and Brignone in the USA in a few days. Our entire alpine skiing now depends on the health of these two girls.

These are small positive signs, Pippo Della Vite showed good things and you could have had four in the first run. You can't change things in a week, it takes time and work. I am convinced that in the future Moelgg's new ski school methodologies will work.

We had time from July 2019 - in that time we got the organization of the games in Cortina. I don't trust our federation. They are responsible for losing a great talent - Colturi and they did nothing during this time. Because people like Goggia, Brignone or Paris were already strong before 2019.

Good to see any sign of a good Finnish performance in any skiing sport. It's so weird they are not good anymore in skiing and i just can't understand why.

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.

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