The crisis of the Italian women's slalom? Brignone talks about it, but with a ... different vision

Unfortunately, this is not a novelty, especially this year since very few qualifiers have been seen and, after the injury of Martina Peterlini, the situation has precipitated. In the slalom of Are, none of the seven blue at the start finished in the top 30 of the first heat, with Federica Brignone and Marta Bassino, the only two non-specialists who decided to compete since they are already present in Sweden for the giant. Evil, needless to hide, Della Mea, Rossetti, Tschurtschenthaler, Haller and Gulli, who we will not see clearly in the finals since none have hit the top 25 of specialties and therefore the pass for Courchevel-Méribel. Asked about the difficulties of the team led by coach Devid Salvadori this year, Federica Brignone did not hold back, to the microphones of Rai Sport, while explaining that ... “I say that in giant there is ... nothing, if I think that in Aspen (2017 finals, ed) there were 7 - the analysis of the Aosta Valley - Apart from Roberta Melesi, there is little behind. In slalom, in my opinion, the young girls are not bad but they certainly have a lot of pressure on them. I have seen them skiing and they have the level of those who are now in the 30s. It is difficult to add anything else, not living this team from the inside, I am very sorry for the situation ".
