Compagnoni Day: the family, the charity, the silence that says a thousand words. And the special relationship with Alberto Tomba.
Thursday 4 June 2020 3 minutes reading time
An innate class, for a woman capable of emerging even if she doesn't want to, given that the spotlight has never done it for her.
Deborah Compagnoni wanted to celebrate her 50 years in the family, far from interviews and celebrations; more than 21 years after her retirement from skiing, the occasions when she can be seen at the white circus competitions are rare, perhaps in that Cortina where her husband Alessandro Benetton will report the world championships, or in the parterre d '' arrival of the Stelvio di Bormio.
The children, Agnese, Luce and Tobias, are now quite old and are embarking on their path, with studies that allow Deborah herself to give herself some time for her great passion as painting. And to carry on, of course, the "Skiing for life" association that he created in 2002 to support research against leukemia which, three years earlier, took away his cousin Barbara (also a skier).
Now the most successful blue of all time feels a bit like the godmother of the blues who are doing so well in recent years, even in recent days she has not failed to send her messages to Federica Brignone, to congratulate her again after the conquest of the World Cup. And then the special relationship with Alberto Tomba, who lived with her all the best moments, but also the dramatic day of the Albertville giant with the Bolognese (back from the third Olympic gold) to call her immediately after the accident, and those with the technician who has flanked her for a life, the fellow countryman Tino Pietrogiovanna, or with the trusted skiman, that Mauro Sbardellotto who, many years later, lived with Federica Brignone the satisfaction of winning the only trophy that was missing from the Italian women's ski collection and from Deborah Compagnoni's.
