The next Olympic competition? The giant by De Aliprandini (with Vinatzer and Sala): "I'm ready and I'm fine"

On Sunday the Trentino will be the great blue hope for the first medal in the men's sector. Luca's words, recovered after his ankle injury: "Four days of training here, I'm not tense and I just want to have fun". Official trio with the two slalomists at his side.

The disappointment for the female super-g, waiting to understand what will happen on Saturday with the first test of the descent that will see Sofia Goggia as protagonist, must be put aside for the Italian national team even if there is someone today who can smile and how for the result of girlfriend Michelle Gisin. The next race that will award medals for alpine skiing in Beijing 2022, concerns the men and the giantists with Luca De Aliprandini, in fact, the absolute beacon of a team that will propose, albeit with high bibs and very low chances, Alex Vinatzer and Tommaso Sala who will then aim to the giant of February 16. On Sunday the great challenge between the wide doors, which the vice world champion is experiencing ... like this: "Since we arrived - explains De Aliprandini to Physi.org - we have done two days of training, then a day off and others two days of training. Today I rested, on Saturday there will be skiing on the track and on Sunday the race. The foot is very good (after Adelboden's injury to the left ankle, ed), I had already managed to ski one day at home, before leaving. I feel just a little bit of discomfort, but I can train well and do two / three laps without any problems. The first few days I suffered from back pain, but this is normal because the loads you put into skiing after a few weeks off are always different from working out in the gym. Now, however, the back is also under control ”. “I'm adapting to the particular snow that is here - continues the blue leader - The first day I had a bit of difficulty, but it got better and better. We are now doing material evaluations and I think we found some good options there too. The Olympic giant is obviously an important competition, but I'm not particularly tense, quite the contrary. I am really delighted to be here and I know how hard I have worked in the last four weeks. I really want to compete and have fun ”.
