Endless legs, intelligence, and 161 centimeters in height with explosiveness to sell. These are the ingredients that make stagliare on top of the history of the Winter Olympics. After the "disappointment of silver" of the 500, the 23 year-old succeeds in getting up win: Thus ends the third place, ahead of the Olympic champion Zhou Yang of China and the Korean Shim Suk-Hee, the great favorite of the longest race of the program of short track in Sochi.

The Valtellina collects medals and is officially the blue lady of the Olympics 2014. And of course it is confirmed by placing a signature at the bottom in the history of short track. Because the Valtellina put on the bulletin board in the fourth career Olympic medal (a silver and three bronze). But the feeling is very strong that the magic moment is by no means finished today.
Arrived safely through to the final A, the girl Polaggia runs with great intelligence. It remains in the slipstream of the head of the race in the early laps jerky. Until they decide to take the plunge: Arianna flies so head from the sixth to the eighth lap, right behind her while they fall into three Li, Scott and Alang). Allontanatasi of trouble, the affair-medal remains in the hands of four: Zhou, Kim and ter Mors. The first two pass over the blue and the fountain that can not easily control the attacks of Dutch. Upon arrival, the unbridled joy right along with the national team coaches and with her boyfriend and teammate Anthony Lobello, shows how this bronze is really "heavy."
