Olympic Games
The triumph of the Italian candidacy for the 2026 Winter Olympics made even the US champions happy ...

After Lindsey Vonn, who in the past few days had "sprung" to Milan-Cortina and, after the verdict issued in Lausanne, received thanks from former colleague and friend Sofia Goggia for the support directly through social media, it is the ruler of the Women's World Cup in the last three years to congratulate Italy on today's victory.
Mikaela Shiffrin, in fact, said she was decidedly happy for the Italian success, in a video published in which she talks about Cortina and the Olympia delle Tofane as "one of the most beautiful tracks for us athletes, it's always exciting to compete".
The 24-year-old from Colorado will have "only" 30 years (she will turn 31 on 13 March 2026) in the days of the Italian Olympics and, saying that "the Games seem far away, but will arrive in the blink of an eye", already seems very likely to think to see her at the starting gate, perhaps launching a supersfida with speed with Sofia Goggia.
Shiffrin, in fact, knows how to sip down the downhill and super-g commitments, but the weekend has always pleased him and, after a 4th place obtained in 2017 at the start of a World Cup SG, the champion American was also able to win in Cortina, in the super-g of last January 20 and after not having performed tests and downhill race of the previous day.
A special feeling that could come back in less than 7 years ...
