Put Manfred Moelgg, born in 1982, and the best '99 in circulation, Alex Vinatzer. Together in a live social network that compared the national team captain and the most anticipated talent of the Italian slalom, for a bang and response during a cracking and moderated "FISI Private Room" by the federal press office led by Max Vergani and Andrea Facchinetti.
The Maremma highlander spoke with great optimism of the recovery after the Crusader crash in the giant Adelboden: “Touching iron, everything is going very well and these months have flown by. Now we will see the timing for putting the skis back on, but in mid-June I think I can do it together with the boys at the Stelvio; as I have already said several times, the desire is all there because I don't want to end with an injury and, above all, I feel that there is still something to give. I don't want to put pressure on myself, but I would like to be ready for Levi, given that the slalom will have priority over the giant, which I will have to sacrifice because maintaining the same level of training in both disciplines will become very difficult. "
The young Gardena, back from the explosion season with the podium in Zagreb and the 6th place in Schladming, confessed to training "for ten weeks, given that once he returned from Norway (for the junior world championships, where he could not race in giant and defend the world title in slalom) I never gave up. I can't wait to go back on skis to the Stelvio, for a short holiday in Italy there will be time in July ".
The news of the day on the novelty of the parallel format (with double heats for all rounds of the race) was judged by Moelgg "a step forward, although in general I am against what the parallel represents", while Vinatzer has always focused heavily on this specialty. “Many don't like it, but I enjoy it and I'll try to be competitive. I think it will work better to guarantee the equity that has often been lacking last year, and I hope that in Cortina we can also do well as a team ".
