It was the return season after the serious injury of January 2019 in Wengen, on the day of the best career result obtained with the sixth place in the legendary descent on the Lauberhorn.
And if after a good start in Lake Louise, things had not gone very well between December and January, Emanuele Buzzi took two top ten placings in the last month of races, with 10th place in the Garmisch descent and 9th ° in the super-g of Hinterstoder, who can only give confidence by thinking of the 2020/21 vintage of the sprinter of Sappada.
Twenty-six years to complete on October 27th, Lele is expected to the final explosion because, apart from accidents, the potential from the podium is recognized: "The first word that comes to mind to summarize the winter is ... strange - he confides Buzzi, entrusting his thoughts to the personal site - Strange because it never really took off, between weather and Covid-19, canceling an appointment as expected as the finals of Cortina. Another adjective for myself is swinging: mine has been a season of ups and downs, as indeed was to be expected after the long stop. Swinging but also positive, in the end my best in the World Cup with two top 10 and five top 15 ".
At times Buzzi felt the best sensations: “In some races, I skied at the top level in the world for some sectors. I finished 19th in the super-g standings, 33 ° downhill and 62 ° in the general, but the race that gave me the greatest satisfaction was undoubtedly Garmisch; there I realized I could play with the strongest, skiing as I had wanted to do for a long time and as until then I had not been able to do. The worst moment was Wengen, because I wanted to do well to take my revenge against the bad luck of a year before, but my test ended after just two doors, gleaning and standing miraculously. "
