Gulli reopens a door for the Olympics: "I'm happy despite the mistakes. Beijing? Soon to think about it, but ..."

The declarations of the only blue in the points in the "night race" on the Planai. The Turin is in the second placement in points after Flachau 2021, for the Games she could also be useful in the team event and there would be places in the contingent.

If we want it is only a more than discreet placement, in another difficult evening for the women's slalom team that qualified an athlete for the 2nd heat of the great event in Schladming, but behind the 23rd place of Anita Gulli c '' is in any case a value not to be underestimated, given that the potential of the Turin-born is still, or almost everything, to be discovered. Twenty-eighth a year ago in Flachau, precisely the night race replaced by today's one on Planai, the ''98 blue class hit a second heat for the second time in their career, improving that 28th despite a run, after the great first from 21st to time trial, at 1 ”55 from Vlhova with bib 53, at a level far from the best that Anita can express. However, this is a result, considering that the other blue slalomists in the race (thus excluding injured Peterlini) did not score any points this season, which could also be worth the Olympic pass for Gulli, already called for the last World Championships in Cortina. The female contingent for the Beijing Games is decidedly large, but it is equally clear that slalom will be the discipline sacrificed in terms of choices; for the best Italian on the Planai, however, we must also consider her adaptability to a context such as the team event, actually also suitable for Lara Della Mea, currently the reference point of the team and out of thirty for a few cents this evening, at return after the absence of Kranjska Gora. Gulli spoke to Rai Sport about his race, not hiding his belief in a possible Olympic call-up. “I'm still happy because I started with the right attitude, even if I made a few mistakes too many - commented Anita, interviewed by Simone Benzoni - The Olympics? Let's see, everything is still open but it's too early to think about it ”.
