Still a great performance by Cristian Deville. The Fassa Valley, in amazing shape as it has never been so far, rooms for the second consecutive podium finishing in third place in the night slalom in Flachau with a gap of just 9 cents from the winner Ivica Kostelic and two cents by Sweden's Andre Myrher.
"I am really happy because I have not skied the best - says Cristian -. These days I felt tired physically, but when the race arrived, things have changed, although he made a couple of big mistakes in the second heats. I dedicate this podium to my ski man Giuseppe Bianchini, I miss nine cents to win, but I can not complain, my time will come too. I'm going strong in this period, my opponents are stronger than me I'm going through a magical December, is the best moment of his career. Now I can rest a few days, then we start to train with great enthusiasm and intensity as we are doing because January is a month full of events especially for us. We are of dimosrando be a great team. "
A great team. Deville says well if we think of the magnificent seventh place from Patrick Thaler, a boy who seemed to be over, but which is even better than the days when skiing was always in the fifteen: "I made another small step forward, I am truly satisfied. In second run I tried to attack but not at the top was perfect. I have great confidence, I can take away other satisfactions. "
Fair also the provision of Stephen Gross concludes that 23 °. The talent is there, also the technique and style, lacking just a little 'experience: "It was a big day, I hoped to do better but they did. My growth also involves these placements, now think about the next race in Zagreb, which will be equally important. This season I have played five games between the World Cup and European Cup and I've always got to the end, I found continuity ". They go hand
Giuliano Razzoli and Manfred Moelgg. A little 'regret for the new element of the blue team, Roberto Nani, who had managed to qualify for the second heat, but was disqualified for missing a gate.
