She is the only blue slalomist in the 30s in the world, in her case constantly between 3pm, but also the veteran of a very young group that is showing she can grow, with the victories of Rossetti and Peterlini in the European Cup, but also some points in the World Cup that had already represented important signals.
The constant of the Italian women's slalom, however, is still Irene Curtoni: double 13th place in the last two races of Zagreb and Flachau, and the best seasonal result that goes back to 10th in Killington, but also a nice giant in Sestriere with the 18th square that represented something special for the Valtellina, now projected towards the weekend of technical competitions in Maribor, next February 15-16.
In these days Irene has trained again in Pozza di Fassa, on the "Aloch" which is now her home and the national team of Guadagnini. Interviewed by the press office that deals with skiing events in Val di Fassa, the blue slalomist explained that "after Sestriere I needed a few days off to get my back back, after the tour de force between the end December and the first part of January. We still have four important slaloms ahead of us to go up the rankings and bring home good places. "
