To read the press releases of Italian newspapers regarding Alpine World Ski seem to read the worst quarrels and homegrown football controversy. After all we are a nation of football fans, although not all, and certain phrases escaped to the protagonists, or as in this case to the protagonists, the White Circus are used to feed sterile polemics and completely useless, just as in many cases it happens in football.

It began after the women's combined slalom in which Sofia Goggia, in the lead after the descent, was released after seven doors. Asked the opinion of Federica Brignone final outcome of the race Aostan responded: "They won the best." Wendy Holdener ie gold, silver and Michelle Gisin Michaela Kirchgasser bronze, coincidentally the favorites of the day before. There is something wrong or malicious in what he said Federica? No, it's just the plain truth: even if she got to hardly Sofia goal would be over at the medal.
Yet the phrase Federica was seen by some newspapers as a dig in Sofia, which of course there is in full waterfall, has been brooding for four days and yesterday, in pre female giant press conference said: "It 's an overused term but I will try to be with the best. " And of course Federica, already annoyed at being designated as a reserve in the event team and it was forced to participate in this press conference after the morning had already spoken with the media, has not taken it at all well.
Irony, barbs (place, we repeat that to Brignone with which it all started was a dig) between two girls who are not really friends for their skin because they have a very competitive against any other, including teammates . That they were just friends for the skin could be deduced, for example, the tongue (also ironic) on the podium in Courchevel Federica in Sofia, which had preceded the 2 cents settling in command of a race of giant then cleared to the wind.
The result of the Sofia what response was? The following title at the bottom of the first page paper: "The Goggia declares 'war' to Brignone". Ohibò, war? It will have been recruited by ISIS or al-Qaeda or some other terrorist group? Come on, dear colleagues: the rivalries must be powered by the same athletes on the track and not with half-sentences interpreted to their own use. And 'why we do not side not only for Federica or only for Sofia but for alpine skiing Italian, and then for both the same way and with them also to all others. We want the two of them, but also all others, will make the "war" on the track. Everything else is hot air that adds tension and extra pressure just.
