A gondola gold then, so similar to that of red color that is given each year to the winners of the races in Kitzbühel, only just change the color, as a tribute to his amazing and heartwarming victory, ex-aequo with Slovenian Tina Maze, in the women's downhill Olympic Sochi . But a few hours before Dominique, still unaware of the unexpected gift from his people, as he updated his blog, here is the Italian version.
"In the last week I continued my travels around Europe. Rich and varied as ever my program. They are in fact gone from wonderful days skiing in Engelberg and Zermatt with sponsors, television studios in Zurich host of the program by Kurt Aeschbacher, visits to other events in Switzerland and beyond national borders. Needless to say, I was not bored.
Last week I spent several days in Italy, on the slopes of Madesimo and St. Catherine, where we found the ideal training conditions, almost winter, with temperatures near zero. It ' was wonderful to fully enjoy the sunshine and perfect conditions.
Once again we had at our disposal the track that hosted the World Cup in 2005. Being able to train in such conditions, it allows us to test and refine the materials, appropriating knowledge that will be useful next season. Despite the fatigue, which has accompanied me in recent weeks, it is not was difficult to find the necessary motivation. The afternoons were relaxing and I took the opportunity to rake in energy in the sun, read a good book and to dispose of some administrative slopes. These were the last days of skiing. Now for me the season is permanently closed and my skis will be safe for a few weeks, in the hands of my skiman Stephen.
I would like to once again thank you for your support during this crazy winter, especially in terms of emotional and emotional. I hope to see you again, at least on the web, even in the summer months.
My book of the week: S. - J.J Abrams / Doug Dorst (single, brilliant). "
