For Italy, this is podiums number 12 and 13 in parallel in individual competitions, which once again rewards the excellent year of the team led by Cesare Pisoni in the discipline, which adds the six women’s podiums.
"The 50th podium of my career makes me proud – Roland Fischnaller told official FISI channels -. It’ s a difficult period of my life, I just wanted to feel good on the board that was lent to me by my teammate Gabriel Messner. I had nice edges and good feeling on the snow, è the first podium in Poland, it is hot here too but we still hit the’goal".
"Very difficult race, where I struggled a lot because last night I did not sleep well – the words of Daniele Bagozza -. Today I decided to enter the ice water tank to recover energy and it was good for me. In qualifying I suffered, but in the knockout phase things improved. A podium that gives me confidence".
