Interview with Cristian Simari Birkner, the sample of 2 worlds

The South American champion got the promises in Argentina you can ski, and how. "Come on, you can ski in Argentina?" How many times have you heard this question? Cristian shrugs, smiles and returns to bend down on his skis and bounds. It is the standard hemisphere less known for alpine skiing and is second only to Stenmark as the number of podiums. He speaks with a slight accent Bergamo and speaks little. "The South American ski centers are fully equipped, nothing to envy Europe. Scio since I was less than a year, my whole family wake. As my coaches, my sisters are the champions South American ski. Trust me, you can ski in Argentina and how! "

Here are some thoughts on the season ended, on being Argentina in the World Cup and no regrets for not making more summer for years. A balance of the season ended and the prospects for prossima.Sono happy with podiums in slalom: Third Mexican junior championships in Austria, third in the championships Czech slalom and gs first nellagara FIS in Mutters and first in the last race in FIS Snowy Meadow. Among other compliments to the slopes and the organization of Snowy Meadow, and anyone who knows me knows that I do a few of compliments! But above all, very happy with the qualification race in the world: third! on the podium in Schladming gave me really want to commit myself to be able to go back! I am satisfied also results in sl (30) and super-combined (21). I'm a bit disappointed by the season of giant, partly because I'm still not used to the new skis that run much less! The short-term goal is to win the South American Cup: The tentative schedule is very full and if there are good conditions and good athletes will be fun! In any case this year the training is very important for arrivar prepared for Sochi! I'm physically by training and I look forward to re-start skiing! Are you Cristian, along with your sisters, of course, the undisputed flag and representing Argentina in the White Circus: it is an honor and a responsibility ? Neither of the two: it is a pleasure to ski! Regardless of the federation and the bandiera.Cosa still missing to clear completely the reality of Argentina ski resort in the world? Money and organization. The mountains and ski centers are cutting edge and can compete with the best ski resorts in the world. An appeal to skiers: in the summer of European and North American winter in Argentina! Enjoy! In Italy you are absolutely at home: how do you feel even Italian? Do not feel Italian but it's like a second home for me. I live here more than eight months a year. I do not imbalance ever so I would say from 1 to 10 ... 6? If there is a season that is almost always skip this summer: you do not want to stay a little longer to heat and summer sun in your life? No, otherwise I would not surfing and skiing!

Grazie alla sua posizione geografica e all'ampio altopiano carsico che la circonda, offre un ambiente naturale di grande fascino e panorami unici che spaziano dagli Appennini fino ai due mari nelle giornate più limpide.
