Two years after Tobias Kastlunger and that silver in the world championship giant of the event in Val di Fassa, Italy has taken another medal among the wide doors in a World Cup at a junior level thanks to the “usual” Giovanni Franzoni.
Gold yesterday in super-g for 4 cents on Lukas Feurstein, silver today more than 7 tenths from the Austrian peer, to whom the 19-year-old from Brescia immediately paid tribute in the post garadi Bansko. "Feurstein was very good, he skied hard both in the first and in the second heat - Franzoni's analysis - Lately I was a bit 'down in the giant, for many reasons, but I'm happy to have pulled out a good second heats.
In the second, up to the middle I was there with the winner, then I made a small mistake and he gave me a gap. In any case, I don't think I would have been able to take the gold. If yesterday I was very happy today I am ... very happy ”.
And then a great thought: “I dedicate the medal to Pippo (Della Vite, who came out today in the 1st heat of“ his ”race) because he would have deserved it and he is skiing very well. Sometimes it happens to make mistakes, but it is good to grow up together. I hope that also tomorrow, in slalom, with Saccardi and Bendotti we can get some other satisfaction and complete the season well. I think the path taken is the right one, even if there is still a lot to do to get to the top.
Winning medals at the Junior World Cup, compared to the World Cup, is a whole other thing: there the races are longer and more difficult, the opponents are very strong. My technique still needs to improve a lot, but I believe that with this staff we are working well and in the right way ”.
