Fear in training for Giada D'Antonio

Giada D’Antonio, engaged in giant slalom training with her teammates in Toblach, fell following a straddle. The 16-year-old Neapolitan girl was immediately rescued by the technical and medical staff present on the slope, and appropriate investigations are underway.

The class of 2009 made her Olympic debut in the special slalom heat of the women’s combined team event on Feb. 10: she was the youngest Italian to be part of the expedition to Milan Cortina 2026.

Her participation in the Five Circles event had led to criticism from Ninna Quario, former skier and mother of Federica Brignone. “I don&#8217t agree with her presence,” she had said on Rai Radio. Sports is the highest example in life of meritocracy. This girl has great talent, a fantastic future, she has shown that she is strong technically and mentally. But she does not have the credentials to be summoned to the Olympics. It could also prove to be a boomerang against her. Maybe then she will surprise us, but in the competitions she did comparing herself to other girls on the European Cup team, she never beat them. Why her and not a girl from 2002? This choice sincerely but I do not agree’agree”.
