A poker of aces that brought their crystals to Cortina d''Ampezzo, or the absolute World Cup conquered in their respective disciplines. We are talking about Federica Brignone, Dorothea Wierer, Michela Moioli and Roland Fischnaller, eagerly awaited at the evening of the "Snow and Ice Grand Gala" organized in the pearl of the Dolomites by "La Gazzetta dello Sport".
A third special edition, considering all the successes achieved in the 2019/2020 season by the blue champions. If Federica Brignone has entered the history of Italian Alpine skiing, the boards of snowboard and biathlon have not been less important, two disciplines that now represent a gold mine. Michela Moioli, at the third snowboard cross World Cup, spoke of an "extraordinary season from every point of view, because giving the maximum on the days when Alzano and Bergamo were on their knees was mentally very hard. But I love to win and now I am working to start even stronger. "
At almost 40, Roland Fischnaller has crowned the dream of a lifetime in alpine snowboarding: “The first thing that drives me is passion - the words of the South Tyrolean champion - I really appreciate the life I have and here in Cortina ... I always find the best snow ”, he underlined referring to a place that, in his career, has meant a lot.
Obviously Dorothea Wierer also received the golden bow, who after the two world gold medals in Anterselva signed a legendary encore in the World Cup: “Reconfirmation was difficult, I never thought I would succeed. In the end I had fun and it went well. The lockdown? I have never been home so much and I did practically nothing: my husband cooked, I ate ”, joked as Doro did. And Lisa Vittozzi, who won the silver bow for the medal won in the relay at the world championships, spoke clearly thinking about the year of the redemption that awaits her. "The last one was not the season I wanted - said Sappadina - I paid perhaps for the inexperience, too much desire to reconfirm myself. The Covid period allowed me to reflect, to unplug and I am ready to leave with another conviction ".
