With the giant and Sunday crystal balls conquered at the end of last season, there on display in the heart of the Santa Chiara Auditorium, Marta Bassino and Sofia Goggia were two of the great protagonists of today's day at the Trento Sports Festival.
A rich in-depth analysis, by Simone Battaggia and Cristina Fanfoni, for one of the most anticipated events of the review labeled "La Gazzetta dello Sport", with the champions of the women's super national team that is preparing to open a great year, next 23 October in Soelden, who talked about themselves starting from what was combined in the 2020/21 season. The Olympic downhill champion relived her return to Lenzerheide, an exceptional recovery to defend "her" cup, without having to compete in the last round of the finals. “It was a decision made together with Dr. Schoenhuber, whom I trust blindly, and also for this attempt I can say that this crystal ball has great significance for me.
I made great strides in just ten days, I only had three training sessions on skis but I didn't feel pain and I felt I could fight in the race, compensating for the physical shortcomings with my head.
Now I'm fine, we worked a lot in Saas-Fee (almost 20 days in September alone), experiencing very long days, but also super profitable also because we were lucky to find top conditions ".
Marta Bassino, who won four races in the last World Cup as the teammate, was able to celebrate her first major trophy with a race to spare. “I started strong from Soelden and, with the victories in Courchevel and Kranjska Gora, I experienced a magical moment that I tried to take as far forward as possible in the season. Raising the cup in Lenzerheide, despite having already won it in Jasna, was the best moment ”.
Question about Beijing 2022? Ask more from Cuneo ... "I'm not really thinking about it, the Olympics are very far away", and Goggia herself reiterates that "clearly it will be the main event for everyone, but it has to be built first and you have to do well in the World Cup ".
What do the two blue stars have in common? Sofia replies with a very clear concept: “In the desire to work with constancy and great method, the approach to training, while on the technical level I would say nothing. Marta is perfect and goes down like a violin, I like an electric guitar ”. “We have two completely different characters - adds“ Bax ”- I am more shy, she is more expansive ... after all she is Sofia Goggia!”.
And surprisingly, the technical director of the national team, Gianluca Rulfi, is also connected, happy with what he has done with his girls in preparation for the season. “We worked hard and well, almost like in a South American away game. We were lucky with the weather and we are approaching the World Cup with confidence ”.
