In tears, at the end of a world championship race in which he dreamed of at least a level finish. Irene Curtoni, 18th at over 4 seconds behind Katharina Liensberger, was the best blue in a very difficult day for the Italian movement of a discipline that has been suffering for years and has always seen the Valtellina veteran as a point of reference.
“Not everyone knows what I've been through, it's hard to always believe in something that never comes - Irene vented to Simone Benzoni (Rai Sport) microphones - Coming back every time and dreaming is not easy, but I've always tried. Withdrawal? I've been talking about it for a while, you know, but it won't be today and not like this, even if it will come shortly. I think I have given a lot, to myself for sure and I hope to someone too. I'm sorry not to have shown what I can be worth in this specialty ”.
With Federica Brignone out in the first heat and Anita Gulli 26th, after having restarted for 31st having been out for 18 cents from the inversion, then Martina Peterlini's 19th place arrived, which is not valid for the points goal in the WCSL , but it's still a decent placement considering also the good second heat of the thirty (six positions recovered, ed). “I knew I could do well today, but in the first heat I never got to the right pace - his post-race analysis - Too bad also for the final stretch of this second; let's say I'm partially happy with my first world championship ”.
