Alpine Skiing
A vintage a little 'difficult than last season for Peter Fill, downhill speed of the blue team, which this year wants to rebuild and make the most of every opportunity to be able to go back again on the podium and, above all, to qualify given the strong competition within the national, to the great world event: the Olympic Games in Sochi.

How are they going training in America?
They are going pretty well. We did not find that the sun was there last year, we found a bit 'of snow and bad weather, but we also trained very well. The coaches are doing a great job for us to ski well.
Do you feel more fit in the super-G and downhill?
In super-G, we have trained more in this discipline. Downhill I've done a few days, I'm not quite sure yet, I have to decide what materials to choose from, ie what will be the racing skis, boots that I will use. On this I have a little 'problems, I'm not sure yet on what will be the choice.
Last year was a season a bit 'hard for you, you came only twice in the ten. This year will be like Peter Fill?
Who knows. Last year I was very fast, but I made too many mistakes. At times I have had the misfortune to compete with pecs that did not allow me to do such good placements in Val Gardena, where I arrived last but one: it had snowed a lot and I had to do a little 'snowplough to others. In the other races, because my teammates were getting good results and had won, I also wanted to show to be strong, but then I committed errors. So many times I was halfway through the race on the podium or among the first, but then I risked too much and wrong.
First stop for the speed disciplines will be Lake Louise, a track where you've won and you're on the podium ...
It is a fairly easy trail, which I like. It is one of those where I'm going even better if I got good results in the past. We hope to make a regular race given that in recent years there has been a bit 'of wind and poor visibility, and someone has been a little' advantage.
At Lake Louise we will return Bode Miller in Soelden, giant, has proven to be back in form. As you see on the snows of the house?
Here in America we had the chance to train with him and also with other rivals such as Beat Feuz, who is returning from an injury, the Austrians and Svindal. Not everyone has discovered the cards, but I saw Bode Miller fast .
This summer you also trained in slalom ahead of supercombinate?
Unfortunately I have not had time, I did a little slalom. This summer we got bad weather and we threw some training days so we concentrated more in super-G and downhill.
The main objective for this season
The main goal is to get on the podium. It would be very nice also go to the Olympics in Sochi. Our team speed is very strong, so do not sleep to get the qualification. We must do good races, use all opportunities and crank it up.
