He does not skimp on criticism, even for some outings in the media (the reference seems very clear to Federica Brignone, despite not having named her), the federal president Flavio Roda who has closed the circle of the world championship in Cortina at the end of the men's slalom.
Two medals, with the gold of Marta Bassino in parallel and the silver of Luca De Aliprandini in the giant, but also many disappointments starting with the female giant. And so, the number 1 of via Piranesi judges the performance of his national team in a subdued tone, speaking to the microphones of Ettore Giovannelli (Rai Sport): "The positive thing concerns the men's sector, which was in difficulty and which provided a great signal not only for the medal of De Aliprandini, but because the boys have always been in the race - Roda's words - It is from the girls that we all expected much more, even if Bassino's gold is beautiful.
We were penalized a lot by Sofia Goggia's injury, it affected us and perhaps there were a few words too many that were not needed, instead of thinking about working only on skiing. In general I expected more, I have to be honest, then of course also a bit of bad luck, just look at Gross today. At the organizational level it was a great World Cup, which we would have liked to enhance with a few more medals. There is Italy, but in big events it always makes a bit of effort ”.
