Guglielmo Bosca crazy: first career podium finish
Guglielmo Bosca crazy: first career podium
Amazing race of Guglielmo Bosca who reaches, in the first super-G in Garmisch, the first podium of a troubled career. The 30-year-old from the Army has, for a moment led the ranking, before being overtaken by 18 hundredths by Frenchman Nils Allegre. Still, it remains a splendid second place that repays the Milanese transplanted in Val d’Aosta for the great efforts made in past years to become competitive again.
Bosca in fact enduredò the exposed fracture of the tibia and fibula of his left leg in 2017, after a fall in the European Cup in Reiteralm, for which he had to face as many as seven operations, losing two World Cup seasons. She missed her third season due to a torn ACL in Bormio in 2020.
Third place goes to Loic Meillard of Switzerland, 25 hundredths behind Allegre. Not on the podium are né Marco Odermatt (fourth), né Cyprien Sarrazin (tenth). The second of the azzurri è Dominik Paris who gets eighth place at 54 hundredths from the leader, while è 16th Mattia Casse at 1 second. Christof Innerhofer è detached by 1"33, Giovanni Borsotti by 1"76, Giovanni Franzoni by 1"79 and Benjamin Alliod by 2"37.
Speed Italy puts its third man on the podium this season: after Paris’s victory in Gardena and his podiums in Wengen and Kitzbuehel, after Schieder’s encore podium also in Kitz, here comes Bosca, who baptizes the high odds of the rankings on the salt in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
"It’s not è a result completely out of the air – Bosca told official FISI channels – and that makes everything even more beautiful. I knew I could have a great race today, but crossing the finish line first è really a’crazy emotion. I am so happy, over the moon. I skied well from top to bottom, on difficult snow. After the injuries, the path I took è was the result of a determination that I don’t know how many people would have been able to put in. All that path made sense because of today. If I hadn’t made a podium it would have been crazy stuff. The story of someone having fun skiing. Today, however, it all has a very clear meaning. I always knew I could make it to a podium and I made it".
"Since January è as if there was a click in my head, I gained more awareness, è as if all the injuries were put aside, finally. Before, however, I understood that I had the speed è but I had many fears. Ours è is a risky sport and I saw risks and dangers everywhere. If you want to get there, però you have to be able to put them aside and after Bormio I think I managed to do that. Some legacy of injuries in me will always remain. I am not someone who thinks that you should always go down without respect, forò I have gained a better ability to cope with the race and I have a better perception of my abilitiesà"
"Today I saw the green light, now I would like to grab a victory. There are extraordinary phenomena in this period and today beating Odermatt and Sarrazin è was something incredible, crazy" concluded Bosca.
