Army congratulates Marta Bassino

The Italian Army congratulated Marta Bassino on the day the 1996-born athlete, part of the Army Sports Center – Winter Sports Section, won the gold medal in the Super-G at the 2023 Alpine Skiing World Championships being held in Courchevel/Meribel.

“An extraordinary victory,” the Army calls it, quoting Bassino’s words in the note: “It’s beautiful. My first victory in Super-G at the World Championships, it’s incredible. I’m happy, it’s the crowning achievement of work, perseverance, teamwork. It’s the crowning achievement of the work and perseverance it takes to get to these levels. Behind this achievement there are so many people who in a more or less obvious way contribute and have contributed to my path.”

Then the dedication to the Military Corps: “The tricolor waving and Mameli’s anthem on the top step of this podium I dedicate to the Italian Army and to my Army Sports Center that has supported me for so many years. Now I will have to rest and then train to prepare parallel and giant.”

For the Army Sports Center, Bassino embodies the qualities of the military-athlete, such as discipline, honesty, courage and commitment.
