Once again, the team event did not give satisfactions to the Azzurri national team, eliminated in the first round by Germany, despite playing it on the edge of cents with a good team like the German one.
At the CdM finals, as we know, this race is in fact considered an obstacle between the technical tests and the fast ones, so much so that many nations do not even register or deploy second and third lines. Italy, on the other hand, nevertheless proposed three of the four holders seen at the Olympic Games, with Federica Brignone, Marta Bassino and Luca De Aliprandini together with Giovanni Borsotti.
Yet, the words, released in the interview with Rai Sport after the exit with Germany, of Brignone herself, make us reflect, who explained how the preparation for this race was almost nil. “We do not prepare the team event and it shows, it was not right for us who do all the disciplines (referring to her and Bassino, ed), before the technical races of the weekend. The speech at the World Cup and the Olympics was different.
I'm sorry to say, but personally today I didn't give a damn about the result, I'm thinking of the giant on Sunday and having brought home my legs on this rotten snow ”.
Luca De Aliprandini has his say: “It is good to have made this race in a giant perspective to try out a completely different snow, with coarse grain. I actually like the discipline as well, but I think we need to review something about the material we use, I struggle so much to have consistency between the various heats ".
“With the medals up for grabs and the big names, I think the team event can be there - added Giovanni Borsotti - It's clear that on a day like today, he leaves whatever time he finds. Furthermore, the problem is always finding very different conditions to make the parallel from one location to another ".
