A bitter day in Cortina, after the hangover of the golden parallel of Marta Bassino, for Italsci involved in the team event of these world championships.
After out of breath the round of the second round with Finland, the Azzurri went out in the quarter-final with Germany, in the rematch of the challenge for the bronze two years ago in Sweden. Unfortunately, it was above all the day of Lara Della Mea's injury, right in the debut against Finland and with a left knee that worries. The thought of her teammates, after the race, was everything for her. “I'm very sorry for Lara, getting hurt like this in parallel - Laura Pirovano's comment to Rai microphones - I hoped I could do better, even if I think it was a decent test considering I raced on the blue track. Good Nadia to win her run - she continued in her thirties referring to the duel with Germany - only one victory from the men was missing. Tomorrow I will close with the giant and I'm sorry that this incredible world experience for me is almost over ”.
Nadia Delago: "What happened to Lara hurts, I hoped not to have to run because of her injury - explained the young girl from Val Gardena - I didn't have good feelings going down, but at least I did the point and I'm happy with this, too if we have been eliminated ”.
The quickest, after having already shown yesterday that he is very well in the individual race, was Luca De Aliprandini, who was then knocked out in the decisive duel against a great specialist like Alexander Schmid. “Against the Finn I skied well, with Germany I lost some support and I was unable to create speed for the plan. Now there is the giant, my race, I get there with two good days behind me ”.
Finally Giovanni Borsotti, defeated in the two tests he raced: “I thought I could do better, I never found the right timing and I'm sorry. Let's think of the giant on Friday ”.
