"I think it was the hardest race in my career (the second, ed), a race so I think I have never faced it ... In 2014 there was an equally difficult race, I remember the fog and the holes, one thing And moreover it started from above, so it was even longer, like 1'20 "each heat, it had been a nightmare. There it had been really difficult, but I think I have never done so hard like today, also because I was very tense.
"I was calm every day, even this morning I lived very well, but at the time of departure I had a blockage in my stomach, I had to throw up unfortunately and once I had a hard time breathing, I tried only skiing and in the second I only had to fight because I could not see what was below and above, but I remembered the track perfectly, I knew the most damaged doors, the pressure for the trials of Shiffrin and Worley, but actually it was snowing and maybe not there was the TV, the ones that leave in front of me I do not have time to look at them Then I usually choose to look at only some athletes, those who more or less ski like me, here people who were struggling gave me trouble, I have just look at two or three.
"This year's injury was completely different from last year's: this year I fell, so it was an impact injury that healed, while last year I had a wear problem that was always lurking, something that can recur often and it takes more to heal .. This time I was calm, I did a great job and I thank those who helped me, I'm happy with the path I've done to date. few days of skiing, but those few days I made them doing well, I was back to 100% and I could do every day of skiing I wanted.The last year, however, I lived a little 'the nightmare of not to be able to do everything I wanted to get ready for the best, I had a few curves and a few days of training, but I tried to do a little step every day to improve, of course, I had a hard time at Hintertux I kept on working and I came in. For me it was already a result to be here and star well".
