In the long press conference, with interesting passages about how he experienced the harsh period of disqualification, not & egrave; I missed a thought for the 'former partner Alex Schwarzer, which, yesterday's news, not & egrave; squalifca it has been reduced to as doping, however, called for his staff.
The skater South Tyrol, accompanied by the legal Marco Gallavotti and by those who have taken care of the image and commitments nell''ultimo year, did not release individual interviews because of the limited time available. Kostner these days & egrave ;, in fact, busily engaged with final examinations in view dell''imminente Intimissimi Opera on Ice, which, as usual, will be held & agrave; at the 'Arena of Verona.
The words of Carolina Kostner:
"I'm glad that you have found a meeting point with WADA and NADOs. This allows me to know the end of the disqualification and I rid & agrave; the serenity & agrave; to look towards the future with happiness & agrave ;.
I made a mistake, I admit, and I am aware of a mistake. I remain convinced that they made an honest mistake and that I have the full assurance.
I believe that doping can not be tolerated and I have always fought against doping stating my cleaning. I am available to NADO and WADA to become a witness to a clean sport. I firmly believe that the real ingredients of the sport are patience, discipline, the passion that you put in, the & rsquo; s love and & rsquo; energy. These are the values ​​I want to convey my thanks to the history and experiences of my life.
About the races, I have not a clear plan. Today, I feel relieved for the first time and in the coming weeks potr & ograve; think of the future with the desire to participate in the next Olympics. In the period of disqualification, somehow I always managed to train. What happened is a new experience to add to my luggage. Now I can say I have all doors open. I looked forward to this moment because & eacute; it pi & ugrave; difficult & egrave; always been to not know in which direction to go. For me & egrave; its been hard, but now I feel light and I can breathe for real. As an athlete I am aware that we have a certain responsibility & agrave ;. For me, the most & ugrave; important & egrave; today begins the future.
I never had any doubts that we should fight against doping, the period of ineligibility & egrave; It was a & rsquo; experience lasts that puts you at a crossroads because & eacute; or destroys you or makes you stronger. For I & ograve; I try to take the positive aspects of what happened and look ahead. I do not think that making & ograve; technical upheavals. Lately I have experienced a lot and I want to keep trying new things. I worked without the constraints of the rules a bit & rsquo; limit the creative ;. I tried to skate a tribute to Led Zeppelin, something very modern. In the period of disqualification I could find the & rsquo; artist & egrave; inside me, a difficult and fun. I love what I do and I like conviderlo with people I love. I have gained a great amount of experience in & more ugrave ;. Now I feel the need to show that my growth. It also would be enough just to be part of the team, helping my companions and giving advice to future champions, as & egrave; success for others with me. I do not hide that they had a moment of weakness, but I never stop. My physical condition is good and I think I improved in & rsquo; mental approach to competitions. I also want to thank my parents that I have always been close and all the staff who supported me in every difficult decision I had to take. & Nbsp; About Alex, this is something that marks you life, but is overcome and must be overcome. I can only wish him that everything will end soon and can look serenely to the future.
For me there & rsquo; & egrave; anything for granted. Life marks you and I are no longer & ugrave; that of two years ago or ten years ago. All my experiences have made me there & ograve; they are today. I get back in the game, but not because & eacute; I think I'm the best. It is a different challenge, which goes further and will & agrave; Count myself a challenge to live again moments of joy. Joy is not & egrave; only win, but also to transform the passion for work. "
