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.
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...
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.
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.
