A dream that became an objective, since June 2019 when, together with Sofia Goggia, he dragged the Italian candidacy towards triumph.
Milan-Cortina 2026 will be Michela Moioli's fourth career Olympics and, even if the big event is just under four years away, the Bergamo champion is already thinking about the day she will try to play for the second Olympic title after PyeongChang 2018. snowboard cross competitions will be staged in Livigno, "his" Livigno, where he has been training for years and considers it as a second home.
On the occasion of the "Michela Moioli Day" organized last weekend in "Little Tibet", the three-time winner of the World Cup spoke of the four-year period that will lead her to the Games. "A wonderful day here in Livigno to celebrate a beautiful season and dream of the next 4 years - Michela told" La Gazzetta dello Sport "- Playing the role of standard-bearer in Beijing was the highest point of my career, because yes it is a privilege reserved for a few athletes and, when I received the flag, the emotion was very strong ”.
Moioli returns to that individual match which ended with a fall in the small final, after the very bitter elimination in the semifinals. "I wanted gold, but there were better opponents than me, of course there was regret and luckily I had this second chance, with the first time in the team competition, not to go home empty-handed . With Omar (Visintin, ed) we managed to do a great test and win a beautiful silver ".
In Livigno, in February 2026, the goal will always be the same: the maximum result. “I see it as a great opportunity rather than a responsibility for competing at home. Competing in your own country at the Olympics and doing it in Livigno is a real gift. I dream of winning a medal in front of family, friends and all of Italy that will watch us, but these four years I would like to enjoy them more, given that after 2018 there was so much pressure from reigning Olympic champion. The next Games could represent the end of my career, who knows, but I am sure that ski clubs and snowboard clubs will invest in new generation with this stimulus ".
