Giovanni Franzoni and Filippo Della Vite were the two discoveries of Italian men's skiing during this season, able at 19 to make their debut in the World Cup and beyond, given that in recent weeks the first was able to place itself in the top 15 of a world championship race, that is the world giant of Cortina, to then go to win a gold and a silver at the jr world championships in Bansko, while the second won the first points in CdM with a fantastic 16th place in the same Bulgarian town, on the occasion of the first of the two giants on the “Marc Girardelli”, even if he had to swallow the bitter morsel of the same world youth competition.
Giovanni and Pippo are now preparing to experience an intense season finale between the European Cup and the World Cup. The Brescia player would have the pass in his pocket for the super-g of the finals in Lenzerheide, but the match on 18 March coincides precisely with the last giant of the European Cup, scheduled in Reiteralm and fundamental for the junior world champion , sixth in the general classification of the continental circuit. "There is nothing definitive, but with the technicians we will evaluate my program day by day because, arriving at 450 points in the overall, I could start next year with the 31st in slalom - explains Franzoni through the press office of Energiapura who takes care of the communication - Let's see how the descent and the super-g in Saalbach will go (tomorrow and Saturday, ed) ”.
Different speech for Della Vite from Bergamo, now on a permanent basis in the giant team and also called up for Saturday's appointment in Kranjska Gora: "It was a great season, indeed I managed to achieve more than I could think at the beginning of the season - the words of the blue - In Kranjska Gora I will present myself with the same attitude as always, that is, giving my best without expectations.
Then the focus will be on the Absolutes, where it is important to make a good impression (they will be staged from 22 to 24 March in Livigno, ed) and on the European Cup giant and slalom finals in Reiteralm. These are my latest goals ”.
