"We were worried and now we are not anymore, this is Marcialonga - said Angelo Corradini, president of Marcialonga to appease the apprehension after the damage caused by bad weather that has flagellated Trentino in general and the two valleys in particular - We so many officials who are pro-racist and feel Marcialonga a bit like them. I found all the institutions available to cooperate, perhaps more in Trento than in the valley ". Marcialonga is a great sports machine, in addition to the side events of the 46th Marcialonga there are also the other two summer sisters, Cycling Craft and Running Coop. Now we are ready for the winter with closed registrations and 7,500 athletes already at the starting line ". Also present at the presentation was Roberto Failoni - new provincial councilor for tourism and sport: "I will humbly put myself at the service of the whole Trentino community, sport in Trentino is fundamental especially from the point of view of tourism", and Maurizio Rossini of Trentino Marketing: "The success between sport and tourism is born from the fact that, as Trentino, we practice it". The word then passed to the athletes, Bruno Debertolis, athlete now coach of the Trentino Robinson Team, and the legendary Cristian Zorzi, Olympic champion: "I will bring Antonio Rossi, Jury Chechi and Paolo Bettini in my environment, leading them to compete at Marcialonga, we will pass the witness to the finish line. Sometimes they challenge me and now it's up to me! " Marcialonga is a race for authentic long distance specialists and great double poling interpreters: "Mauro Brigadoi is our top athlete - says Bruno Debertolis - we do not want to be recognized as amateurs, we are real athletes, from my point of view we present ourselves to competitions and we want to be considered like the others. The favorite for me is Gjerdalen ". Also present Marco Albarello, testimonial of Marcialonga Story as well as champion from the big blazon: "I am very happy to be testimonial of our 'treasure', delighted to be able to challenge myself again in Marcialonga Story with old-fashioned skis and vintage clothing, in Valle d'Aosta we have always tried to imitate Trentino and Fiemme and Fassa in terms of organization and passion ". Marcialonga is part of Visma Ski Classics that has brought a wave of great television visibility. One of the leaders of the great Swedish team of Visma is Lorenzo Girardi, also trentino: "A unique emotion to be here for me from Trentino, there are no big news but little improvements, we will tell the great deeds of long distances and the beauty of great landscapes and stages, primarily that of Marcialonga ".
