I spoke to Chemmy and we W discussed her ‘New Feet’, “I love them, they are really amazing and have been really good to me, they’ve been through hell and come out the other end” she said. Off to her new Physio in Wales, and now with more new corporate funding, she decided that Team Chemmy should broaden its horizons and go for the best of the best. Apart from the new Physio she now has a new Nutritionist who has worked with the best elite British athletes and is finding it very interesting what they all actually come up with. I asked about this years training, what is she doing different for 2007? “Well I am not in Austria but at home this summer, which is very nice. Normally I would spend a lot of time in Austria, but the whole staff and Coaches have come over and have realised that it is not a negative me training at home, it’s like being in Austria but I’m happier. They all thought that living in London there are no trees”. She went on to say “I had my first session with my coach in Richmond Park and he was like ‘oh my god there are deer here, how did that happen’. At least now he knows I am not just biking around the roadways.” Having completed her endurance work and competed in a few Triathlons, she is now into the 2nd phase which is the explosivity stage, doing a lot of jumping, kangaroo work and bounding.

  • The CARRERA SKI RACING TEAM Lines up Its Champions for an Exciting New Season
    SKI WORLD CUP 2010-2011 The CARRERA SKI RACING TEAM lines up its champions for an exciting new season October 2010 – The Ski World Cup officially starts and the CARRERA SKI RACING TEAM 2010/2011 enters with a strong line-up of first-class champions. The first name to mention among the athletes that will be descending on the slopes this winter season wearing the CARRERA brand is Carlo Janka, the young Swiss athlete, who last year won the General World Cup for the downhill and giant slalom races. Along with Janka, we will also be seeing the Swede Anja Paerson, the Austrians Rainer Schoenfelder and Michael Walchhofer, who with Elisabeth Goergl and Mario Scheiber will be giving the White Circus fans some terrific emotions. The CARRERA SKI RACING TEAM 2010/2011 will also count the Swiss talent Marc Berthod, among its ranks, who in the past seasons achieved brilliant results in his disciplines. The novelties of this season are the two promising young Finns, Markus Sandell, who despite a serious fall was able to participate in the Vancouver Olympic Games; and Andreas Romar, the bronze medal winner in the 2009 Junior World Ski Championships. Some big names in Nordic skiing also stand out including the Olympic ski-jumping champion Thomas Morgenstern and the World ski-jumping champion Gregor Schlierenzauer. For the winter season 2010/2011, CARRERA is the official supplier of ski helmets and goggles for the teams of Austria, Finland, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland and Japan. Athletes such as Austrians Stefan Goergl, Johan Grugger, Andrea Fischbacher, Cristoph Bieler and Romed Baumann, and the Swede Therese Borssen will race in the various Alpine and Nordic ski disciplines, always protected by the CARRERA products.

Alla mia famiglia, che mi ha supportato in tutti i miei 19 anni di carriera scolastica, permettendomi di raggiungere con successo questo traguardo. A Francesca che mi ha regalato la sua presenza nei momenti peggiori e in quelli migliori, riuscendo ad offrirmi sempre il suo affetto, con gioia e serenità. Ai tutti miei zii, in particolare Ivana e Roberto per aver sempre avuto parole di conforto e sostegno, nei momenti difficili, e a Mabel per avermi aiutato ad affrontare le prime difficoltà nel mio cammino scolastico ed avermi indirizzato a questa strada con il suo esempio. A Nicola, che ha creduto in me, spronandomi a dare sempre di più, permettendomi così di portare a termine questo lavoro di tesi aiutandomi anche nella sua stesura e revisione, senza mai mancare negare un sorriso; per avermi inoltre permesso ottime esperienze, negli ambiti più disparati. A Giulia, che in tutti questi anni si è confidata e confrontata con me, dando origine ad una grande amicizia. A Mattia, che ha indirizzato la carriera universitaria; per la profonda amicizia e per essere stato sempre da riferimento. A tutti coloro che, nel mio cammino, hanno creduto in me. A tutti coloro che non hanno creduto in me, dandomi la possibilità di migliorare sempre di più. Ai miei compagni di laboratori e di studi, per avermi regalato momenti felici.

  • C'e' Chi Dice Miller, C'e' Chi Sogna Fill
    ! C’E’ CHI DICE MILLER, C’E’ CHI SOGNA FILL Domattina la discesa sulla Stelvio con gli azzurri tra i protagonisti - Il pronostico di Christof Innerhofer - Tra i favoriti oltre all’americano e all’altoatesino anche l’austriaco Hannes Reichelt, vincitore della passata edizione, e il leader di Coppa del Mondo, Aksel Lund Svindal ! BORMIO, 28 DICEMBRE 2013 - Eccezionalmente l’anno scorso a Bormio hanno vinto in due. Dominik Paris domani darà forfait: ha ancora un polpaccio ammaccato e non vuole rischiare nell’anno olimpico. L’altro, Hannes Reichelt, invece ci sarà e pure oggi, nella seconda giornata di prove cronometrate della discesa di Coppa del Mondo, è stato tra i più veloci “su una pista più veloce di ieri”. Solo Erik Guay, il funambolico canadese trionfatore nell’ultima libera in Val Gardena, l’ha battuto di una manciata di centesimi di secondo. Eppure, a sentire Christof Innerhofer, che non ha peli sulla lingua, altri sono i favoriti della discesa sulla mitica Stelvio. “Mi chiedi tre nomi? E io te li faccio subito: nell’ordine Bode Miller, Peter Fill e Aksel Lund Svindal”. E Reichelt? “Sì lo so, qui ha vinto l’anno scorso, ma tu vuoi sapere i primi tre e io te li ho detti. Comunque appena giù dal podio c’è lui, facciamo quarto, e Guay quinto”. E tu? “Non è mai bello parlare di se stessi. Io sto bene, sono in forma e non importa se domani arrivo decimo, quindicesimo o terzo. Nello sci bisogna essere anche fortunati. Specie su questa pista che non ti permette di sbagliare mai.

    THE THIN LINE: Life on the Edge Skier Biographies BODE MILLER Bode Miller burst onto the World Cup scene as an 18-year-old in 1996 and first gained widespread recognition when he won two silver medals at the 2002 Winter Olympics in the Giant Slalom and Combined events. Miller has won a total of four gold medals and one silver medal at the World Championships. In the 2004/2005 Season, Miller won his first overall FIS World Cup title, outlasting Austrian Benjamin Raich. In the 2006/07 Season, Miller finished 4th overall and won the Super G title. In May 2007, Miller announced that he was leaving the U.S. Ski Team to race as an independent. PICABO STREET One of the most prolific women’s racers to ever grace the U.S. Ski Team, Picabo Street was most definitely a ski racing personality. The native of tiny Triumph, Idaho announced her retirement from competition following the 2002 women’s Olympic downhill at Snowbasin, Utah, ending a career that included nine career World Cup victories, the 1995 and 1996 World Cup downhill discipline titles and a trio of World Championships medals to go along with her two Olympic medals, including the Super-G gold at the 1998 Nagano Games. In addition, Street collected a total of four U.S. National titles during her illustrious career, despite being injured and away from ski racing for two years.
