Determined as if her 22 years were only those indicated on the identity card, given that the athlete shows a maturity well beyond his age. Martina Peterlini was one of the revelations of the blue slalom in the last season, with two victories in the European Cup, the fixed position conquered for the next World Cup season, but above all the entry among the top 30 in the world in the discipline with the 14th place obtained in Zagreb as a top, although always starting from the rear. Asked by colleagues from sportnews.bz, the '97 class raised on the slopes of Folgaria says very simply. "I have snow in my blood, with a family of ski instructors and the first descents when I was only two years old ...". The competitive growth was facilitated by the attendance of the sports high school in Malles, where two champions such as Dominik Paris and Dorothea Wierer passed: "A high school that guarantees excellent school education and at the same time coaches who know how to improve athletes", explains Martina, then joined the Fiamme Oro, "a fundamental support, I am infinitely grateful to the sports group of the State Police". Retracing the 2019/2020 vintage, Rovereto became known with the first CdM points obtained in Levi, but only in Zagreb did he understand that he had made a real leap in quality: “Being able to sit at the Leader''s Corner is was undoubtedly the best moment of the season. However, I think and believe that I still have a lot of room for improvement. " A blue slalom team, the one led since last summer by another Trentino such as Matteo Guadagnini, who has lost a quality technician like Heini Pfitscher, landed in Switzerland: "It was a displeasure to receive the news, because I have an excellent relationship with Heini - explains Martina - He always gave important advice and found the right words at the right time ". With tourism and management studies in Brunico now set aside a bit ("in three years I have only been able to take four exams, there is not much time available", the head is already looking at Levi's slalom which will open if all goes well, the 2020/21 season.
