Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections
and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home Antonio Colamonaci who made great in the past years

let's see if he can make great again, now
Not counting Colturi the last time an Italian women skier stood on the podium of the World Cup in a special slalom was in 2011:
-Manuela Moelgg: 4.01.2011..
The last Italian victory was:
-Chiara Costazza: 29.12.2007...
In my opinion the best slalom skier on the Italian team is still Federica Brignone, who doesn`t trains in this discipline anymore. If she did, she would probably easily beat skiers like Peterlini, Rossetti or Della Mea. I don't understand why we have such problems in this competition? Bad training methods, bad coaches? I fear that Colturi would also be reduced to mediocrity by this hopeless Italian staff, who are unable to train an athlete for a dozen or so years to reach a single World Cup podium. Radical changes should have been implemented long ago, because the current state of affairs doesn`t guarantee any progress in the near future...
