With his 24th place in the giant of Soelden, Roberta Melesi won the first points in the World Cup, the fifth ever race in the maximum circuit.
A very good result for one of the young blue women on the launching pad: the 23-year-old from Lecco, after a couple of experiences in each of the two previous seasons, once the physical problems have been resolved, seems to be able to play her stably at the highest levels.
Roberta will have the peace of mind of being able to take advantage of the guaranteed fixed place throughout the year, both in the giant and super-g races, thanks to the results obtained in the 2018/19 European Cup season, which finished in second place both at general classification level, both in his two favorite specialties; despite a problem in the left shoulder, already shabby after previous injuries, which had stopped her in full brawl in February, on 12 March the ballabiese obtained its first success in the continental circuit, winning the super-g of Sella Nevea in front of a certain Alice Robinson, to then finish in the place of honor in the rankings that allowed her to achieve a very important goal for a career in continuous growth.
The colleague Gianmario Bonzi, on the columns of "Il Giorno", spoke with Melesi in the post Soelden, gathering all the satisfaction, but also the awareness of the Lombard skier: "I am very happy, but it must be a starting point because I have need to grow again at this level - the words of the '96 blue class - It was my first time on the Rettenbach and, even if it is a track theoretically not very suitable for my characteristics, I liked it a lot and everything was perfect , so much so that starting with 46 seemed to me to have ... the '1'.
Now, in the programs of the Lecco the trip to Copper Mountain, from November 11th to "train even at speed with teammates who will teach me a lot, starting with Sofia Goggia", already thinking about the next World Cup race that the will be the protagonist on the 30th of the month in the giant of Killington, but also the following week with the weekend of fast races in Lake Louise and the participation, already certain, at the super-g on Sunday 8 December.
