In Zhangjiakou it was a day worthy of history books, for snowboarding which saw Ester Ledecka win again the Olympic PGS, for the second consecutive time and for her third gold medal at the Games after the sensational double in 2018. And be careful because this incredible champion will try again in speed even in alpine skiing, taking advantage of an all in all favorable calendar.
Unfortunately for Italy it was also the day of 4th place for Roland Fischnaller, once again one step away from the only laurel that is missing in his extraordinary showcase. On his sixth participation in the Games, the 41-year-old South Tyrolean, never like this time, stroked the five-circle medal. "Today I was quite fit, but it was not really my track - said" captain Fisch "to Physi.org - I tried, I worked hard: to be still with the top at my age is a great satisfaction, but not it helps to dispose of the disappointment. I missed the last two heats, I don't know how, but I went too straight where I don't normally do that.
These are the emotions of the Olympics and, as a blue colleague of mine (Sofia Goggia, ed) has already said, if this is God's plan I can only open my arms. Now I go home to my wife and children, then we return to compete in the World Cup and at the end of May I will be on the Stelvio to try the new board. I will definitely be on track next season ”.
Of course, seeing him at the Milan-Cortina 2026 home games seems complicated, but at this point it shouldn't be ruled out for an Italian sport phenomenon.
"I never had a great feeling on this snow: it is very different from the one we have in Europe - said Mirko Felicetti, eliminated in the round of 16 - I just have to be angry with myself, because if the others went faster it is because they are probably superior. We just have to work and see what we can create for the future. I tried to go as I am able, but on this snow you can't make mistakes, I made a trivial one on the fifth last gate ”.
