Daniela Merighetti: "I wanted a good result even in my last race. I gave everything as always"

As with & nbsp; Max Blardone we also had a chat with & nbsp; Daniela Merighetti all''indomani of its abandonment dell''attivit & agrave; competitive and the 'blue clarified which physical harm reported in the fall in the downhill & nbsp; St. Moritz.

Just like with the & rsquo; Ossola, even with the Brescia start from as you & egrave; approached the skis: & ldquo; I Li made six years in the mountains of the province of Brescia, my pap & agrave; He was superappassionato and my two pi & ugrave sisters; large skied gi & agrave; so he & ldquo; & rdquo touched; go with them even if, while not loving the cold, skiing amused me. Then I found a group of friends to ski with which I was fine. Let's say you do not ski & egrave; It was love at first sight but a gradual falling in love. When I won the Italian giant and super-G students championships coaches began to tell me that I could make a good career & rdquo ;. But during the first years of his career Dada & egrave; been hit severely by bad luck: first the fracture of the tibia and fibula of his left leg, then three broken crusaders, l & rsquo; last after he had made his first podium in a & Aring giant; re: & ldquo; The pi & ugrave time; bad in my career & egrave; coincided with the 2004-2005 season, it was hard to ski and I always had pain. What more & ugrave; nice instead & egrave; It was of course the victory in the downhill in Cortina d & rsquo; Ampezzo in 2012 when I beat three champions like Lindsey Vonn, Maria Riesch and Tina Maze. In the many years I have lived beautiful moments of the World Cup but also moments when I felt very gi & ugrave; for accidents and because & eacute; the results did not arrive. I never thought seriously of retiring before quest & rsquo; year but each time, with operations and physiotherapy of the way, it was really hard to try to get back to doing good & rdquo ;. Even more regret & ugrave; largest of & rsquo; blue & egrave; known: the fourth place in the Olympic downhill in Sochi 2014. & ldquo; I had a good career by winning s & igrave; once but with a few podiums, an Olympic medal would give tutt & rsquo; other thickness. I always tried to give everything to make a good result and I also wanted to do it in my last race. The future? Surely rester memorize options in Guardia di Finanza, parler memorize options with commanders to know that I will assign destination. I want to change a bit & rsquo; life and stay longer & ugrave; closer to home, to my family and my affections & rdquo ;. Finally, an update on & rsquo; knee injury which thankfully & egrave; less serious than had been diagnosed at first: & ldquo; Today I went to Milan to do more tests. The ligament concerned does not & egrave; the crusader but the side and not & egrave; even broken but & egrave; span (that & egrave; c & rsquo; & egrave; lower bound to the joints), so along with Dr. Panzeri and Dr. Sch & ouml; nhuber we decided not to have surgery. I do not have pi & ugrave; off at 100 to & rsquo; now why let my right knee as & egrave; always been. I'm going to memorize options on with physiotherapy cos & igrave; penser memorize options It is still a & rsquo; athlete & hellip; & rdquo;. & nbsp; But today Daniela has also published a post on his Facebook page in which, in addition to updates on his injury, he thanked all those who l & rsquo; have supported throughout his sporting life: & ldquo; When she reached the end of my career I want to thank so many people: first of my family that allowed me to ski and I've never been "forced" to result from a young age; my coaches of the past, & nbsp; especially Silvano who created the 'race athlete I am (I & # 128546;), and has taught me so much, especially that work always pays; the great family of the Italian winter sports federation, those of the building and all the coaches, Skiman, physio, trainers who have followed me from 2000 to Wednesday & igrave; last; Gianpi for the preparation of many years (py & ugrave; vent''anni ... of the press & egrave; of my property & agrave; now & # 128540;) and Cristiano for the recovery of injuries last dell''anno and 'exercise of' 'last season & # 128285 ;; Lucio Zanchi for allowing me to train in Millennium (even in August & # 128531;) and Paolo Cima for having made available Medical Spa; the sponsors who have supported me and gave me the best material; Marco Bonometti OMR for having supported by world Garmisch until today; my companions, the dhlions with which to do workout & egrave; It was always fun and constructive; my friends and my friends for making me think about something else and not skiing when I was at home; my best friends because & eacute; ...... because & eacute; are the best friends of the world & # 128536 ;; journalists and the media who have spoken to me and skiing (keep talking about it and writing about !!!!); fans who have written to me beautiful words when things turned, and who rejoice with me in the thuile.
