Cross Country: The ultimate success of Ariadne

Ariadne was the strongest distance runner of the National Team since 2006, ie even when Gabriella Paruzzi, after Manuela Di Centa and Stefania Belmondo, has left the career.
At the age of 33 years, Arianna is now devote full time to his family.
Coming to a son, the greatest joy for a professional capable of winning the world title in the sprint in Liberec in 2009.
Until 2006, despite several years of World Cup, Arianna was not able to obtain any good result. Then the breakthrough and the discovery of nearly 30 years to be one of the strongest sprinters in the world. Come so slowly victories in nine World Cup stages of the Tour de Ski and especially world. In Vancouver with Magda Genuin was the number one favorite for the sprint in pairs, completely failed for a fourth place finish along with the relay team gave just a big disappointment. But despite all this year has come back in great shape, and finished his fine career as best he could: silver in the sprint world Holmenkollen (beaten only by Marit Bjoergen), in pursuit of victory and third in Final World Cup behind Bjoergen and Kowalczyk.
