A fifth place to be framed, but also with some regrets to demonstrate the mentality of this boy.
At 21, Simone Deromedis saw the Olympic skicross podium very closely, only coming out in a very tough semifinal, before dominating the small closed with the number "alla Ghedina", that is the split that the Ampezzo downhill skier invented in the temple of Kitz .
An already historic result for the national team, but the 2000 class from Trentino, who brought Italy back to a World Cup podium after 16 years this season, is looking ahead by aiming higher and higher. "I came to Beijing with high expectations, but I tried not to put too much pressure on myself - Deromedis declared at the end of the race to physi.org - The season has gone very well for now, I am in shape and this final has vanished at the very last moment. I was first with two corners from the finish, I got stuck and they passed me, then I won the final and anyway I am there and I hope that the next races continue to go well.
There have been a lot of contacts, but in the end that's the beauty of skicross. The season does not end here, tomorrow we will go directly to Russia for two World Cup races before the finals. It would be great to replicate another podium, but I don't set myself goals: I always give my best and take what comes ”.
