It's a far from new situation in the world of skiing, but when the two skiers are in the middle who have been competing for all the slalom races for the past two years now and the crystal balls at stake, it is normal that the story ends in the spotlight.
Today "La Gazzetta dello Sport", signed by Marisa Poli, has relaunched the case in which Mikaela Shiffrin was spied on by the staff of Petra Vlhova, led by Livio Magoni from Bergamo who was able to bring the Slovak champion with an almost entirely Italian team at the world top. The Skiracing site spoke of real "industrial espionage", given that the training of the United States champion is filmed on a fairly regular basis. And what did Magoni say about it? "We just want to learn from the best, it will not be entirely correct, but it is our job - the words of the technician who won everything with Tina Maze - It is important to observe Mikaela because she is the best skier in the world and you can understand how she moves the team around. As a head coach, it's important to see how others manage the team. "
Nothing forbidden, in fact, but Shiffrin herself, although not naming Team Vlhova, said she was frustrated by the situation: "What I do with my skis, I see it as my property - he told NBC Sports - With the my coaches and the people I work with we intellectually and physically created something that nobody taught me.

Si ritira a soli 24 anni Alice Calaba, tormentata dagli infortuni dopo il bronzo mondiale jr: Lo sci è diventato parte di me
La velocista valdostana ha ufficialmente salutato l'agonismo, lei che era rientrata a livello FIS nell'ultimo inverno, dopo oltre due anni e mezzo ai box, causa i guai alle ginocchia, da quel 2023 che le aveva inizialmente regalato il podio in super-g ai campionati del mondo juniores di St. Anton, dove fu pure 5^ in discesa.
