The joy of Marta Bassino: "It's incredible". The fury of Fede Brignone: "An indecent competition"

On the one hand, the incredible gold of the Cuneo area, after a journey that is in some ways crazy. On the other the Aosta Valley, mocked in the quarters by her teammate with a track situation (and regulation) that is questionable to say the least.

Twenty-four years after Compagnoni and Kostner, and again on Italian snow, Marta Bassino brings a world title back to Italy. Today's incredible parallel in Rumerlo consecrates the woman from Cuneo, still incredulous to Rai microphones immediately after the race and before the award ceremony: “It is incredible and beautiful, already from the semifinal run I was very happy with a medal. I knew it could be done, it was a struggle in these conditions with the slower blue track. Let's say this is a cherry, I believe so much in the giant on Thursday, but this success certainly takes away a lot of weight from me. My parents have also been there since yesterday, it's wonderful ”.

In Val Pusteria sono andate in scena due giornate della versione estiva dello sci di fondo, con Marco Pinzani e Federica Cassol che hanno tronfato nella sprint del sabato sull'asfalto di Anterselva. A Dobbiaco, invece, le 10 km in alternato hanno regalato il successo a Davide Graz e Maria Gismondi, all'interno della cornice della Nordic Arena per quella che è stata la prima tappa della Coppa Italia invernale.
