Guido Meda, revelations about Federica Brignone and Sofia Goggia

Guido Meda returned to post on Facebook in the night, dwelling on Federica Brignone’s victory but not only: “Ten months after a general orthopedic disaster, a disaster so disastrous that she was not even sure she would walk straight again. And when she came to the motorcycle Grand Prix and told me about her upcoming Olympics, I wondered…Honestly, how is she going to do it? Here. And she was not the one we were waiting for on the podium this morning either, because what do you ever want her to be able to do on that track that is a technical and physical torment someone who two days ago didn”t even train because of the pains she had.

The voice of MotoGp was pointing, like many, to another Azzurra: “Sofia Goggia rather, who that bronze (rightly) I think did not digest it at all. However, with Federica it is wrong to think this way. With real champions one must think the opposite of what the belly suggests. She today made her 35 years a time of experience. She has made her 10 months to heal a time of challenge and common sense. She made her two-minute race a time of harvest as she had it in mind. One doesn’t show up there at the top if in a crease somewhere inside one doesn’t have a little bit of victory. And a ski race became a life lesson, maybe not for everyone, but a total life lesson”.

“I have known her since she was a little girl, and her mom and dad were two references for me as I roamed the ski slopes of the world with my enthusiasm, filling my eyes with beautiful things. And who would have imagined that little girl there…all those numbers, those headlines, that drama, that shooting. And instead time, all the time there was, harnessed it, bent and shaped it. Nothing to chance. And maybe that’s not even all there is to it. Sorry all of us pirates for not believing it as much as you did Faith, and thank you for explaining that as pirates we were dead wrong” concluded Guido Meda.

They were all wrong.

Even Guido Meda was extasted in front of the TV during the Opening Ceremony of the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, with the “his” Valentino Rossi driver of the streetcar that brought President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella to San Siro really moving him: “Maybe the passing of time has an effect on the sensitivity of those who suffer it but I was really literally moved”.

“In an Olympic, elegant and special evening I saw again my past, the past of my best years – had written on Facebook in the night – the one in which for work I followed the two legends, Alberto Tomba and Deborah Compagnoni, who lit the brazier tonight. Today they are dear friends. And then the more recent and incredible past of Valentino Rossi (tagged, ed.) who made me great by telling and walking beside him. And let us also add the powerful sobriety of President Mattarella who lent himself”.
