Less than a year after her rainbow title in Engadine, Michela Moioli is back on the Olympic podium: her bronze medal in snowboard cross at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina is worth her third consecutive medal after individual gold in PyeongChang 2018 and silver in pairs with Omar Visintin in Beijing 2022. “I believed in it, because anything can happen in this sport – she admitted -: you should not think about the result, but what is happening, moment by moment. It is a tip for the race but one that I give myself in my everyday life” too.

“I am really proud of me, so much – added the champion from Bergamo -. Really so much: not only for the medal, but because I have made an incredible path, supported by exceptional people and team, with my family always beside me. I wanted to be there today, to do what I know how to do, since I was a child. I wasn’t particularly tense today, more the past few days: late nights, pressure. It was tough, I carry the marks on my face, but “the Moioli never dies” and I made it: sometimes I didn”t believe in myself, I struggled but today I wanted to be there”.

L’Azzurra made a comeback in both the semifinals and the final: “In the race I wasn&#8217t thinking about medals, I was thinking about what I had to do: I knew I was fast at the end and I focused on that. In 48 hours I went from the hospital for the fall in training to the Olympic medal: it was a big blow, I was reeling and wondering how I was going to compete. I did not give up, I got help from the right people, doctors and family”.

“Last night we went for a walk with my mother and sister, we sang “Night Before Exams” and I felt that something good was going to happen. I wasn&#8217t thinking about the medal, but I was hoping to be there. It feels good to close this circle: I wanted to get a medal in Milan Cortina and I did it, then we will see” concluded Moioli.
