The only two blue in the points in the second slalom of Levi. The Valtellinese: "The gap from the big names is smaller and my skiing is competitive on every track".
Sunday 22 November 2020 3 minutes reading time
An 8th and an 11th place in two slaloms thanks to Irene Curtoni, a few points for Marta Bassino and Federica Brignone, now respectively in fifth and eighth position in the overall of the World Cup (for what counts after three races, two of which between the tight posts), and good signals from Martina Peterlini in particular in the “youth package”, while the others suffered more.
This is Matteo Guadagnini's balance sheet for Levi's away match. Today's regret is linked to Bassino's in forcata, who could have obtained the second result in consecutive points, while Brignone went on and on and said she was “definitely not happy with my race weekend”.
We will see them both again in Lech / Zuers for next Thursday's parallel on the Austrian slope, as well as Irene Curtoni who, precisely in this discipline (3 years ago in Courchevel), obtained the last podium in CdM. And precisely the goal of a top 3, at 35 and in what could be her last season in the white circus (but without back problems, why not think of Beijing 2022?), Is clear in the mind of the Valtellina specialist , who scored his two best career results on the Levi Black. “I took another step forward - explained Irene to the FISI press office after the race - More than anything else in consistency to maintain the result and performance in both heats.
I have adapted quite well on all types of tracks proposed: the skiing is solid, there is a lot of work behind it. Clearly the ambition is not to finish eleventh or eighth, but to be the first weekend of the World Cup I can be satisfied, also because when I made a mistake, I was able to recover. This must be a starting point to aspire to the podium, because the gaps this year are not huge and we are in many competitors within the space of a few tenths ”.

Magico Becchis, apre la doppietta azzurra con Valerio: è il 5° titolo mondiale del fuoriclasse cuneese
A Madona ecco il titolo tanto atteso per l'Italia dello skiroll, con la Sprint a skating tutta del campionissimo ancora sul gradino più alto del podio iridato, assieme al compagno di nazionale d'argento. Peccato per Alba Mortagna (miglior tempo in qualificazione), 4^ nel giorno di Kaparkaleja. Titoli juniores a Lia (con tripletta norge tra le donne) e il lettone Bilans che trionfa in casa.
