In the 2019/2020 season, the women's Italjet was an extraordinary protagonist of a World Cup that saw six different Italians take the podium between downhill and super-g.
In preparation in Solda, towards the debut scheduled for Saturday and Sunday in Sankt Moritz, the very bad news arrived of Nicol Delago's injury (rupture of the Achilles tendon in his left leg, season over). And if the Val Gardena had already made her debut this season in the parallel of Lech / Zuers, as well as obviously Brignone, Bassino and Goggia, for Francesca Marsaglia and Elena Curtoni those in the Upper Engadine will be the first races of a new journey, after having both crowned a dream in 2019/2020, with the Piedmontese by adoption at the first podium in CdM and the Valtellina at the first success.
Interviewed by colleagues from “La Provincia di Sondrio”, Irene's younger sister spoke about her goals for a year that will see the Cortina World Championships at the center of attention, but which Elena wants to interpret immediately at the attack; finally free from physical problems, the junior super-g world champion has returned to levels even higher than those that brought her, between the finals of the March 2016 World Cup in Sankt Moritz (first podium in CdM, downhill) and until the end of the following season, with 4th place in the super-g cup, two podiums in "his" discipline in Val d''Isère and Crans-Montana and 5th place in the world championships again in the locality Switzerland, in the world speed elite before the double, terrible injury of the spring (Italian championships in Bardonecchia) and of the autumn 2017, with the right knee crusader knocked out in training at Copper Mountain and the Olympic season in smoke.
On 25 January 2020, when in Bansko he led the magical blue hat-trick with Bassino and Brignone in the second descent on the Bulgarian snow, his magical day will remain, but now the blue wants more: "I miss an affirmation in my beloved specialty - told the ''91 Valtellinese class, last season 11th in the super-g cup and 6th downhill - I will try to win this season, for which I have very high expectations, also because the preparation in Cervinia is been optimal.
The target? I know it will be difficult, but the dream is to win one of the two speed cups. I'll try".
