The 27-year-old Norwegian has not yet won, but he leads the World Cup general in the closing of 2019. "After three fourth places, today I took off a great satisfaction".

Let's define him the regularist, at least in terms of results, since on skis he is anything but a calculator.
Aleksander Aamodt Kilde has not yet won in the season, but for various reasons there is all the leadership in the overall World Cup, conquered today with the 2nd place in the combined Bormio (and thanks to the error of Dominik Paris in slalom) ; yes, because AAK92 had never been so technically solid in multiple disciplines, as clearly demonstrated by the 4th place in the giant on the Gran Risa.
He also gave a lot, if we think of the same parallel giant in Alta Badia or the super-g of Beaver Creek, lost in the final stretch to Odermatt's advantage, and here we explain the two second places and the three quarters (two in the descents on the Stelvio), with the worst result going back to 21st place in the debut giant in Soelden.
At the age of 27, while maintaining his "lucid madness" necessary to be always competitive, be careful because Kilde can become a nice puzzle for those who want to fight in a crystal ball perspective: "For me it is a surprising record - he confessed at the end race the Norwegian - This weekend, among other things, I was not very well from the physical point of view, but today I managed to do the maximum between super-g and slalom, where everything went perfectly.
It is a very good result, which comes after three quarters. The fight for the World Cup? I think it's really very open, Dominik (Paris, ed) has proven to be very strong, but there are many of us. As long as I can stay in the middle, I try. " Simple, isn't it?

Cancellati dalla FISI, il silenzio del mondo dello sci ci ha ucciso due volte: Olga e Marcello Franzoso non si nascondono
Il collega Matteo Macor de La Repubblica ha intervistato i genitori di Matteo Franzoso, scomparso esattamente un anno fa dopo 48 ore di agonia in seguito all'incidente di La Parva. Durissime le loro parole nei confronti della Federazione e in generale dell'ambiente, solo la Guardia di Finanza ci è stata vicina. Oggi il corpo militare del quale faceva parte il velocista ligure gli ha intitolato una sala del museo a Predazzo.
