It is a curious statistical datum, that which sees women's Italy obtain, six days after the Lienz slalom, the same points and always with three athletes in the Zagreb race that opened 2020. If Federica Brignone had placed 13th in Tyrol, with Irene Curtoni 14th and Lara Della Mea 24th, here the Tarvisian was confirmed in the same position, with Curtoni who improved by one square and Martina Peterlini placed right in 14th place, in 9 cents from the team captain. And it is really the '97 class of '97 Grande Fondo, raised on the slopes of Folgaria, the protagonist of the day in the blue house: second place in the career points (she had been 26th in Levi), but above all the first top 15 of the career and great comeback in the 2nd heat, with the sixth part time and ascent of 15 positions, starting from the 29th. â€œI'm simply very happy - Peterlini's words - I knew I had a good result inside, I was skiing well and finally I managed to do two heats at most. I will try to improve the starting number again, but this performance gives me great confidence; we are a young and united group, we push each other ". If Lara Della Mea smiles for another 7 points in her pocket ("now I want to try to give more in the 2nd round, it will be an intense month even with the commitments of the European Cup"), Irene Curtoni is half happy. "Today I was not in great shape (back from a flu state, editor's note) - the analysis of the veteran from Valtellina - but I managed to maintain a certain constancy and I have room for improvement. These are not the results I am aiming for, I know I can aim high and now the Flachau race arrives. Last year I ran aground right there, this year (it will be competing on Tuesday 14 January), aiming for a place in the top five. "
