A title that he had dreamed of for years and that has touched once again, for his fourth world medal after the three consecutive bronzes of Kreischberg 2015, Sierra Nevada 2017 and Solitude 2019. It certainly cannot be defined as a disappointment the silver won today by Michela Moioli in Idre Fjall's world championship race, even if the big favorite was the Bergamo-born and she only wanted gold, the only one missing from her immense collection. In the Swedish post-race, though already thinking about the second and last chance available on Friday with the team competition, the Olympic snowboard cross champion was still very happy with yet another medal result. "In the final I didn't start very well, but I remained calm behind the others, because I knew that in the lower part of the track I would have had the possibility to recover - the '95 class analysis under the Army - Unfortunately I committed a small mistake on the second jump, but I'm still happy. I congratulate Bankes who won and I dedicate the medal to Sofia Goggia: I thought of it from the start and she noticed it with a gesture that only she knows. It is a great satisfaction, because in any case it is never easy to win a medal at the World Cup and reconfirm oneself season after season. We did a great job, I have wonderful people at my side who help me. We were missing a medal of this color in my personal collection, it is a further step of growth in my path. Now in the team competition on Friday (specialty in which he won silver in 2019, ed) I really want to have fun ". Michela will race alongside Lorenzo Sommariva, the other blue couple will be composed of Omar Visintin / Raffaella Brutto. Moioli also received the compliments of the sporting director Cesare Pisoni: "Michela is a guarantee of a medal on every occasion, I'm so sorry for her teammates who were eliminated for a series of mistakes, while Belingheri couldn't even start because during the push from the gate a shoulder came out. If Michela hadn't taken a flat in the last series of jumps, maybe things would have gone differently, but there is no need to cry. This snow was not in our ropes, tomorrow we will compete with two teams and we will try to enrich our haul ”.
