It was the season of "I would like to but I can't", for a men's slalom national team that has collected less than the potential expressed several times, in particular in the great classics in January when the victory seemed one step away, both for Giuliano Razzoli in Kitzbuehel and Schladming, both for Alex Vinatzer who threw away a lot of opportunities. Precisely the Gardena talent, which must represent the future of this team, must be found at the best levels because the second part of his vintage was really deficient, so much so that it ended up on the border of the top 15 in a WCSL which, however, in the end sees three blues in the second sub-group, with Razzoli going on for another year and Tommaso Sala certainly representing the best news of this year topped off by only one podium in ten races (and in the middle there is also the disappointment of missed Olympic medal). The Brianza finished with a flourish, with a 7th place in the final race in Méribel, the last of Jacques Theolier at the helm of a team that the French coach will leave after the season of the great goal he had declared on his return to the blue team of the slalom, or Beijing 2022. "For me it was a great season, I'm really happy to have finished it with a good 7th place - the words of Sala to the microphones of Rai Sport, today after the race - The second heat was difficult , with less visibility and many signs, it's a shame because I struggled in the final part, at the finish line I was really ... finished ”.
