About two months ago you fell during a training session in Tignes procurandoti a distortion of the fibula, how do you feel now?
I'm pretty well, I still have a little 'annoyance, but I've seen worse in the past as well as many of my colleagues. He stuck a little 'preparation for a month I had to stop with both the athletic training that skis. I started skiing when I arrived here in America, at Copper Mountain. All in all workouts have gone well enough, I have not forced immediately, I went step by step. I'm pretty happy. Now I have to keep it a little 'under control and do not overdo it.
Located in Beaver Creek last year you won your first victory in the World Cup. How do you feel about returning to racing Bird of Prey?
Beaver Creek is a place that I've always loved from the first race of the World Cup that I came here to do. The track has always been my favorite, even before defeat us. It's always nice to come back here.
What are your memories of that day?
I am reminded of the many sacrifices paid off in a minute and a half of the race. It was a beautiful day, the kind that I like, with the sun, perfect runway, equal conditions for all, from number 1 to number 70. I could not ask for more as a first victory.
A track where you'd like to win this year
A track that I have always loved you, even if you dispute the descent and not the supergiant, is to Bormio. I do not know if it'll get down to the same levels of the supergiant, but I would do well because it is in Italy, and because it is a track I know for a long time, before I got into the World Cup skiing. When I was in the youth team was often called to do the frontrunners for the race of the World Cup.
The team speed has already been shown to be in good shape at Lake Louise with Dominik Paris of the victory in the downhill. There is competition within the team?
There is positive competition, the competition that has made us grow and made us get to that level that we have achieved in the last two / three seasons. Having such strong opponents as a team, each round of training is as if it were a race. Each has its own characteristics, we are all very different. There are those who should be stronger in some conditions, some in others, so it is a help from this point of view. I, for example, I learned a lot from Dominik Paris under certain conditions and he to me in others, as well as all the others. It is truly a lucky find in a team so strong: there are many teams in the World Cup with five athletes who have already won a victory.
Maybe we'll see you in Beaver Creek also compete in the giant. Your sister Francesca has already proven to be much improved in this discipline bringing home the first points in his career in this specialty. You feel that you have instead?
The giant is a discipline that I never left. The technique you learn by doing this sport for me is essential. Among the wide doors must always train hard and well. When I train well in giant going strong even in the super-G and downhill going fine as well. I have never abandoned this discipline just to get the idea of ​​making some point. This summer in Ushuaia I focused a lot on the giant on a track like that of Beaver Creek suits me quite like features. The goal is to take a cue from my sister and take some punticino in bounds.
Last year you finished second in the super-G standings. This season you will bet more on specialty cup or Olympic medal?
It is difficult in our sport to have goals so precise. Personally, I put myself in the head to improve, do not leave anything to chance, to continue to grow day by day and be able to bring the best of me in the race. When I arrive at the finish line and I'm sure I got the best of me, I'm satisfied. Surely the goal this year is a little bit more on the speech addressed Olympics. The moment of maximum form I will try to get it in the period of the Olympics. With a team so strong and fierce will be important to be fine since these early races to take the Olympic pass because the seats are only four.
