Ok, so I guess federation didn't want to create special rules for a single athlete no matter how promising she is but overall they have mismanaged it more IMO. It's rather obvious any parent will always support their child first. I'm sure there could have been an agreement to return some loans in the future especially that those "private" contracts like Red Bull were always more probable to happen plus the entire exposure hype with the next WOG in Italy.
Many Italian competitors, e.g. Goggia, Vinatzer, Wierer etc. In my opinion Colturi could start for Italy and have the same money now as with the Albanian flag. I doubt if the Albanian ski federation is very rich, since their entire sport is weak, let alone winter sports.
