Bassino in tears, the first cup is a jewel: "A result that comes from afar, an enormous job"

Marta and the crystal ball for the best gigantist of the season, the fourth blue in history to succeed after Compagnoni, Karbon and Brignone. His statements in the post-race.

Deborah Compagnoni in 1997, Denise Karbon in 2008 and Federica Brignone a year ago. Marta Bassino, today in Jasna, has written a page in the history of blue skiing, becoming the fourth Italian woman to win the Giant's World Cup, among other things with a race to spare thanks to the 148 points margin on Tessa Worley. First four times, from Soelden to Courchevel up to Kranjska Gora's double, a "zero" in the second match in France when it was launched towards another possible success, then the third place at Kronplatz and finally the 4th today in Slovakia . In the season that also gave her the world title in parallel, the Cuneo champion sheds more tears of joy immediately after the race. "When I was told that I had won the cup, I was really excited - the words of Marta in the parterre, through the FISI press office - A result that encompasses a series of races, from Soelden to this wonderful victory. ". Marta retraced her winning path: “I was able to always bring out the best in the race starting from Soelden, I think the Courchevel exit served as a lesson. The Kranjska Gora weekend was the most exciting together with this day here in Jasna, but the podium at Kronplatz is also a beautiful memory. I am happy and proud of the continuity shown. I have grown in many ways this year, not only in the race, but it is a path to be covered year after year. The dedication? Many people and situations come to mind, behind this cup there is a great job done with the team, the team has always motivated me to push myself beyond the limits and I thank them as a group, then the family, the fan club, the Army and the sponsors who support me. And now in Lenzerheide (after having skipped the slalom of Are, ed) I will run with a light heart ”.
