The 30's put Cortina's injury behind him and, in the 2019/2020 season, he grew race after race. How far can it go?

There is an Italsci in rosa increasingly devoted to versatility, first of all the tips of the elite group, from Federica Brignone to Sofia Goggia, passing through Marta Bassino, demonstrate this.
And if the examples of Elena Curtoni and Francesca Marsaglia, but also of Roberta Melesi, are not enough, from the multipurpose group of the World Cup is also emerging the one who, since that junior world title in giant, obtained in the world championship of Are 2017, she has always been considered a girl with a talent that would certainly have brought her to the high level.
Above all, the serious injury in the super-g of January 2018 in Cortina got in the way, but after the last season it can be said that Laura Pirovano has completely found herself, perhaps even going beyond expectations; the '97 class of Spiazzo in Val Rendena has just returned from the two weeks of training at the Stelvio, together with the multipurpose group, and prepares a 2020/21 vintage where to try to hit in multiple disciplines. From the giant downhill, but also in combined (his best result in the World Cup came precisely in this specialty, with 10th place in Crans-Montana), Pirovano has carved out a very important space in the team, starting the '' last cup season with two thirtieth places, in the giant of Killington and in the super-g of Sankt Moritz, which at the beginning could have seemed little.
In reality, one punticino at a time has returned that confidence necessary to go strong, ever stronger; Laura has raised the bar and since January has started to show up in the upper quarters of the rankings. In the two very difficult descents of Bansko, a high level 11th and 14th place, and then again constantly in the 30s at practically every race, up to collecting fourteen points in the season. For a 22-year-old who has just returned from the hell of a serious crash such as that of the Crusader, very important signals to arrive where so many insiders predicted them.
Now it's about taking the most important step.
