A social chat with the fans and the Valtellina, who will soon be a TV commentator for CSR, gave a very interesting vision of the issues related to the first two cup slaloms. "Give the blue time, they are young but tough".

A special look, from the former who is already missing from the Italian slalom national team, a point of reference for many years, up to that greeting at the Lenzerheide finals.
Irene Curtoni experienced a particular last weekend, given that the season of "her" specialty began in Levi, one year after that 2020 opening which saw her obtain a top ten (eighth) for the first time in the Finnish town that the Valtellinese certainly did not like. It was enough to "tease" the fans on instagram to unleash a series of questions and give rise to many insights into the two slalom on the Levi Black. Irene, starting from the Lake Louise races, will be co-commentator on TV for RSI (Italian-speaking Swiss radio and television), and it is very interesting to understand her point of view on that world she lived up to a few months ago.
“What was it like watching the races on TV? I was lucky enough to be able to choose to quit after so many years, I am really satisfied and serene. At the same time, I know that certain emotions I will no longer experience, but there will be new and equally stimulating ones. After Soelden, I would have said that Shiffrin would have been unbeatable already by Levi, but Vlhova has so far proved otherwise. Petra impressed me, she kept her power but is much smoother in skiing. Mikaela has accustomed us so well that a slight imbalance immediately makes her seem human, but it remains a textbook and I think that from Killington she will go back to being impeccable ”.
The former Valtellinese slalomist defined Wendy Holdener, who competed after the fractures of the two scaphoids, "a real warrior for whom I always cheer, while Lena Duerr has shown that at 30 years old you are not finished athletes as some say , rather. The young woman who hit me? Emma Aicher, the German born in 2003 (14th and 23rd starting with number 60) ”.
On the blue Levi, Curtoni has a clear thought. “For Marta Rossetti and Lara Della Mea, patience is needed when returning from injury. The team is very young and needs experience, but they are tough girls. Martina (Peterlini, ed) has shown a continuous improvement in the four heats, starting like this is a good omen for her. The important thing is that there is a project and the decision to carry it out without revolutionizing everything every 2-3 years, as has unfortunately happened so far ”.
