  • Watching Janica Kostelic on Tv Psyched Me Up
    WATCHING JANICA KOSTELIC ON TV PSYCHED ME UP Mikaela Shiffrin studied her idol on TV in 2005, when she won the slalom in Santa Caterina Valfurva The stars and stripes anthem for Mikaela Shiffrin fills the Stelvio course's parterre with enthusiasm while the American from Vail jumps on the podium with Maria Pitilae-Holmner and Nastasia Noens. And it suddenly stops raining and even snowing in Bormio! It looks like the weather too wants to celebrate the triumph of this amazing eighteen years old girl from Colorado. Tomorrow the weather conditions will be good and the men's World Cup slalom on the Stelvio is going to regularly take place at 14.45pm (1st run) and 6.10pm (2nd run). The three ladies of today's slalom spoke during the press conference at the Bormio, via Roma press office. These are the official quotes of the three champions: MIKAELA SHIFFRIN (Usa) – First place in Bormio "It 's been a battle, but I was ready. I have improved a lot in the past three weeks and today I felt strong, but I think I can still improve during the rest of the season. The skis were so good today and I was ready to go fast. It was an exciting battle with Marlies Schild when in Lienz. The most important thing is to work the hardest possible and ski better and better. I am so happy with my results so far in this season. I had never skied in Bormio before but I remember when I watched my idol Janica Kostelic on TV in 2005.

En 2010, je regardais sans cesse le haut de la piste et j’avais une appréhension… Et, d’un coup, une demi-heure avant le premier départ, j’ai vu des centaines de personnes descendre pour aller se positionner le long du tracé. On aurait dit une fourmilière. Ce fut un soulagement”, dit-il. Avec 18 000 spectateurs en 2010, le coup d’essai fut un coup de maître. Ce succès populaire valida une dizaine d’années d’efforts, tant dans la station qu’au niveau des instances sportives nationales et internationales, pour faire entrer à nouveau Courchevel dans le cercle fermé des stations organisatrices de Coupes du Monde.
