Alberto Tomba, revelation about Jannik Sinner

The words of Alberto Tomba

Alberto Tomba in a long interview with Repubblica also spoke about Jannik Sinner: "Every now and then we talk, after all heè a former skier. We needed someone like him, I dreamed years ago that someone would come along who could become number one in the world, and here is Jannik".

"In this year of Olympics and Paralympics, for Italian sport his Slams are something unapproachable. He and I are divided by distant eras and different sports. He left skiing becauseé you can&eograve; not make a mistake, make a single mistake, but è as if we swapped roles: I could be a tennis player, I had the court in the park at home, and he the skier".

"Malaga? That part of Spain brings good luck, you land there to go up to Sierra Nevada where I won two gold medals at the World Cup '96", he recalled starting with the Azzurri’s Davis Cup triumph.

Closing remark on Sofia Goggia: "She's really strong, after injuries she picks up, restarts, wins again, she has a good physique. But we also have Federica Brignone and Marta Bassino, the women are the strong ones, while we keep waiting for an heir to Tomba and it è not easy".
