It is slalom time for the grand finale of these world championships. Tomorrow the girls, Sunday the men's race always on the new “Druscié A”, even if already on Saturday the 112 athletes participating in the qualifications on the “Lacedelli” will be competing. Today the four blue slalomists arrived in Cortina, namely Manfred Moelgg, Alex Vinatzer, Stefano Gross and Giuliano Razzoli. Just the captain of the national team was the last Italian to take a world medal in giant and, after eight years, here is Luca De Aliprandini to light up the home world championship. "I haven't watched a giant on TV for a while and I cheered like crazy - Moelgg told" Casa Italia Collection - FISI "tonight, interviewed by Ettore Giovannelli - Luca gave us a great emotion, he deserved this first podium because he has been skiing hard for years. And others will come ”. Manni speaks of a world balance, albeit still partial, “maybe not exceptional, but we weren't too lucky with Paris and Brignone either. I am convinced that even at the Olympics we will be there for the medals ”. And on Sunday the slalom: "We trained well, we are ready and I myself arrive at this race without thinking about the giant: on the one hand it is true that some opponents have tried this snow, but we will run on another track and in conditions probably different. I have to congratulate the organization, we have seen fabulous races. They will probably wet again on the Druscié and on the steep I am convinced that we will be competitive ”. Giuliano Razzoli also spoke of a “beautiful day for all of us, it's really nice when you see a teammate's dream come true. Now it's our turn, I'm happy to have trained well in the last two weeks, since in January I always had to chase the form and the qualification for the World Championship. Vinatzer? In training I saw him skiing well, he has the ability to fight for it because he is a great talent and he will come back to the top. We know how awful slalom is, especially for a young man like him. Sunday we will see a spectacular race, and we will be there ”.
