Luca De Aliprandini dreamed of a different day from every point of view.
It was a very bitter Olympic competition for the lighthouse of the discipline in Italy, the vice world champion who had not had an ideal approach, with the injury of Adelboden, but had recovered very well as his first one showed. heat, sixth half a second behind Odermatt and conceding 2-3 tenths in the final.
The Trentino player attacked at full speed from the first goal of the decisive round, but soon lost his line, until he finally derailed. A shame because at least the bronze would have been more than affordable, considering the detachment of Faivre from the two who made the difference, Odermatt and Kranjec. "The goal was another, after the first heat I did not think I had gone so well, I was close and I could play for the medal - the words of De Aliprandini to physi.org - It is clear that it is hard to digest, but these are to tie.
I know how much I have worked in these weeks to get here ready, I have managed to train well in the last week. Physically I'm fine and so I could play my chances. It is a pity that the most important race, on which you work all year, was done in these conditions of visibility where I had a bit of difficulty, because when I do not see, I do not trust and I remain behind and mistakes they come accordingly, which does not happen when the visibility is good.
Now head to the team event and then go home to reset everything and start again from what we have done this season, to face the last three races of the World Cup ”.
