Gustav Thoeni to avalanche on anti-Jannik Sinner
Gustav Thoeni, a legend of Italian skiing, gave an interview to 'la Repubblica' in which he lashed out at anti-Jannik Sinner: "Web controversy? Jannik è very Italian, I have to laugh to hear some keyboard lion's controversy that he would not be Italian. No weight should be given to him, by the way he speaks very good Italian even though German è his native language".
"Let me say that he speaks it better than many Italians and I would close the matter here,” added the former skier. Even in my time there were some who said these things. Now with social è everything amplified, but I reiterate that there is no point in making controversy. We should be proud that a champion like Sinner is Italian".
On the Us Open triumph of the world number one, the first Italian in history to win in New York: "I saw yesterday’s final against Frtiz, but Jannik I have been following him for a long time I am a big fan of his. I am overjoyed for his victory, he deserves it è an extraordinary guy".
"As a boy he also did very well on skis, but he chose the best sport for him and did very well as evidenced by his incredible achievements. He would have been a champion in skiing as well because heé has great talent and willpower" " concluded Thoeni.
