A parade of champions who have excited and given medals at the last Olympic Games in Beijing, but already dream of Milan-Cortina 2026.
"The Gran Gala of snow and ice", organized for the fifth consecutive year by "La Gazzetta dello Sport" in collaboration with FISI, FISG, Apt di Madonna di Campiglio and Trentino Marketing, was the occasion to bring together in full summer the blue aces of winter disciplines.
For the first time in Campiglio (in the heart of Piazza Sissi), practically at the foot of that Canalone Miramonti which on December 22 will host the very classic men's slalom of the World Cup, for the legendary 3Tre at night.
Cristina Fantoni, journalist of La7, was again chosen as the perfect hostess of this evening's event that saw Sofia Goggia and Federica Brignone awarded with gold flakes, the greatest recognition for the FISI home athletes. The Bergamo-based winner of her third downhill World Cup and silver in Beijing 2022, spoke on the stage of "a season that encompassed two opposite worlds, fluctuating between an almost perfect skiing with five wins in seventeen days in December, and after the first fall in January and then that of Cortina, the most exhausting of my career on a physical and mental level. I dragged myself along and I am very proud of what I did in those days in China, I wonder how she managed to throw me off that descent in those conditions.
Next season? We will see for Soelden, in reality I do not know yet if I will be there - admits a bit surprisingly Goggia - I have not made plans and I will have to try to be at the top in all the speed weekends, for the giant we will see how much it is. of a "work in progress". A far-sighted vision is needed by evaluating the conditions on a daily basis, it is something I have to do much better, President Roda also tells me ”.
Federica Brignone, who won two medals in Beijing 2022 (silver in giant, bronze in combined), adding four successes in CdM competitions and the crystal ball in super-g, told herself this. “It was a great season, the next one with 41 races plus the World Championships will be very tough, I certainly won't do them all. The 2026 Olympics? A dream for all of us, it is obvious that we will have to deal with the body, the head and four seasons full of races and many events. I'm not the youngest now, I've been sailing in the World Cup for over ten years, as you know I'll see year by year ”.
René De Silvestro also received the gold bow as Paralympic athlete of the year, he who brought home two splendid medals from China, but a splendid recognition also arrived for Giuliano Razzoli, with the bow of '' Lifetime Achievement Gold to include the 2010 Olympic slalom champion among the legends.
And again, again with regard to alpine skiing, silver bow to Nadia Delago, wonderful bronze in descent at the last Games, while for biathlon and cross-country skiing the same prize was awarded to Dorothea Wierer, fresh from her first individual medal in Olympic level, and Federico Pellegrino again on the place of honor of the five-circle sprint. Silver bow at FISI also for Michela Moioli and Omar Visintin, who together reached the podium in China in the snowboard cross team competition.
