What a great weekend in Adelboden

for Italy. Yesterday Masimiliano is ranked third in the giant Blardone. Today, in the slalom, the third step we find that the young Stephen Gross won his first career podium in the World Cup.

"I still can not believe it - said Stephen - and I'm really sorry for Deville: Today I would certainly beat. But the part of games, and the other one comes up to the podium, it would have been better be both. I dedicate this achievement to my family that really has done in four to allow me to make a career as a skier. At school I was pretty ass and I let go of the art institution I attended for three years after Pozza Finance and devote only enter into the ski. Now comes the reward for all the work done over many years. A dedication goes to all the technical staff of the National Assembly and especially the ski-man Giuseppe Bianchini who does an outstanding job. " A slalom

full of thrills and excitement, he saw Cristian Deville at the top in the first round on a par with the "cat" Marcel Hirscher. A little 'heavy snow that prevented the last athletes to see the track, a little' pressure of being the last to fall, Cristian, with some mistakes here and there, out in the second round abandoning the dream of first victory is close now.

The race was won by Marcel Hirscher so amazing in the form not only in the race for the cup of specialty in the slalom and giant, but also for the overall. The Austrian is in fact the first at an altitude of 725 points with a lead of 230 points of Aksel Lund Svindal. Marcel, however, said in a recent interview that at the moment does not compete neither in nor super fast in the disciplines: "The World Cup? I do not think so. I will not even super-G and super combined. I want to be number one in the giant and slalom, is already so difficult to see fierce competition. " The second step of the podium rooms Croatian Ivica Kostelic, the main rival for the cup of specialty Hirscher. In very good home

Italy Roberto Nani also evidence that for the first time, reaching the second round qualifying for the twenty-first. Hurt the rest of the Blues: Manfred Moelgg comes eighteenth, while exiting Giuliano Razzoli and Patrick Thaler.

But do not worry. Italy today is celebrating a new star of the poles close: Stephen Gross
