He is simply unique, unstoppable and star performer. She with her unmistakable style, weighted words and a lot of elegance to season a magical evening.
Alberto Tomba and Deborah Compagnoni took on the whole scene at the Trento Sport Festival, to close the penultimate day of the review labeled "La Gazzetta dello Sport", with an event all for them, at the Santa Chiara Auditorium, and for those Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympic Games of which I am ambassador.
They presented themselves, side by side as if for a decade in the white circus, on a chairlift to retrace, between jokes and memories, two legendary careers. “Come on the chairlift, the pandemic is over”, the slogan launched by Albertone also thinking about the restart of tourism in the mountains, which is crucial in the next winter season. “I was jealous of your fan club, you were the first to have it,” Debby pointed out. “And I say that we left too soon, me in 1998 and she in 1999. Deborah said that without Alberto she didn't have fun and so she retired, but she could have gone on until Turin 2006”, added the Bolognese champion.
Beijing 2022 is on the horizon, but with Tomba and Compagnoni we can only return to their Olympic triumphs. “In Calgary it was my first Games and I really… played. Four years later it would have been harder ”, recalled Alberto. “We trained together with Tino Pietrogiovanna, skiing on Alberto's lines gave me an advantage, but he wasn't good at teaching me for slalom since I only won one Cup race”, joked Deborah, who was immediately recovered. "You won gold at the World Cup, you don't even remember it!".
For the champion from Valtellina, the Tokyo Olympics were a joy. “What a great message Tamberi sent with his gold after his injury. I see myself in him ”.
We talked about the possibilities of today's Azzurri, from a Beijing perspective: "As for the men, De Aliprandini and Vinatzer can achieve something, then there is the speed sector, but you have to get in shape in February by not starting too strong" , Tomba's analysis. "We are strong with girls: Goggia, Bassino and Brignone can give us great satisfaction", added Compagnoni, who will be together with the Bolognese ambassador of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Games. "It will be a new edition for its economic and social sustainability and environmental, because it will adapt to the territory and what already exists will be enhanced ”, thinks Debby. "I would like it to be a 100% sports Olympics and that many people can get closer to skiing - says Albertone - The pandemic will be over, it's time to give it our all to give prestige to Italy, our wonderful country" .
