At 24 he is already considered a certainty of the speed team, on the other hand the three second places obtained in the World Cup, two of which in the first part of last season, already tell a lot about Nicol Delago's talent. The Val Gardena downhill skier has just returned from the blue meeting on the snows of Breuil-Cervinia, where Nicol was able to put together good consecutive days of speed. He spoke about it to the microphones of Sport Mediaset, focusing in particular on the great goal of the 2020/21 vintage, the world championships in Cortina. “This is the main event, but to get there I have to grow and improve continuously and be ready right from the first races of the season”. The cancellation of the Lake Louise triptych is perhaps not the best for Nicol, who last year was second in the super-g on the Canadian snow, for his first and only podium in the discipline where he still has to find the best automatisms. If we talk instead of Cortina and the Olympia delle Tofane, the feeling is there and that exit from the scene, just before the Rumerlo attack in the first of the descents of January 2019, still makes us think like that day the first victory in the World Cup of a specialist that Italy is waiting for the definitive explosion could have come.
