The cancellation of the third and last race scheduled on the Grandvalira slope gave Simone Origone the thirteenth World Ski Speed Cup. An incredible figure for the 42-year-old champion from Valle d'Aosta, whose figures make one shiver: 106 podiums, 53 victories, 6 world champion golds and 8 world medals. “It was the most difficult cup - confesses Simone, who yesterday overtook Frenchman Simon Billy by just 12 points - That race in Sweden where I risked falling by finishing eighth almost compromised the season, I really thought it would be over.
I had the ability to react, here in Andorra it went well and I also had a bit of luck, with that run disputed after race-1 which allowed me to reverse the situation that up to that point saw me even third in the general classification . There were three of us to fight for the victory, it was a good sporting duel. Now all that remains is to look at the world record attempt, which unfortunately has already been postponed to next year in Vars due to lack of snow, each passing season is more and more difficult for the advancing age, but I have learned to appreciate them all the results I achieve.
The first cup came in 2004, I can't expect that much. Motivation is always at the top, never fails. You will see me again next season ”.
A total triumph for the Italy of speed skiing, given that yesterday the arithmetic of the fifth crystal ball arrived for Valentina Greggio, even unbeaten in the season.
