Alpine Skiingmen's world cup

Sala admits: "I have terrible back pain, good result". Razzoli: "I will level up in January"

The words after the 3Tre match for the two Azzurri with points; even if the top ten remained far away for both, there are some positive notes even if the olympic champion lost the second group (from which Vinatzer still distances himself).

Little blue in the great night of Madonna di Campiglio, few reasons to smile and another heavy "zero" for Alex Vinatzer, already matured in the first heat with the fatal fork to the Val Gardena, even if the second World Cup slalom brought however something good for Tommaso Sala and Giuliano Razzoli. The Brianza finishes 13th, exactly the same position after the first heat, and will admit after the race to the microphones of Rai Sport that he really suffered from severe back pain. “An incredible pain, I couldn't wait to leave in the second heat just to try not to feel it - Sala's words - I'm really sick at the moment, but I tried because I had nothing to lose and it's a good result. Luckily, there are now ten days to recover physically”. Back that also compromised the preparation of Giuliano Razzoli, forced to forfeit in the opening of Val d''Isère, but the seasonal debut of the 38-year-old specialist from Emilia was still quite good. A 19th place will arrive which is not enough to save the permanence in the second starting subgroup (now the "Rocket" is 16th), but from a very classic point of view for January there are some positive ideas for the Olympic champion: "I judge him a good placement in the twenty, even if I was hoping for the top 15 after the first heat – commented the blue again on Rai Sport – Even in the second I lost a lot in the last stretch where my leg was struggling. I'll have more time to find my physical condition in view of the many races in January, I'll try to be definitely in better shape".
