Beijing Olympics, Moioli: ‘It’s the revenge after the injury of the individual’

It is the silver of the rematch, it is the silver of the confirmation. After the disappointment of the individual race, Michela Moioli returned to the Olympic podium and repays her, at least a little, for her great disappointment: “I gave everything, Lindsey (Jacobellis) was stronger. For me it is a rematch. I believed in it and we take home the first team medal. It was a team victory. The wound for how the individual match went is there, but it’s time to look forward ”. For Omar Visintin it is the return to the medal plaza after the bronze of the individual: “You never get used to it. It was great to win with Michela, to share the whole race, from the reconnaissance onwards. We are a great team, a great test with Carpano and Sommariva qualifying for the final “.

The other blue couple in the final stopped in fourth place. “Only the last step was missing” is the comment of Caterina Carpano to the microphones of RaiSport. “I started in the back but I had the trail of the three in front, then I made a top a little higher and I went down”. Lorenzo Sommariva congratulates his teammates on the podium “for what they have done, we hope it helps our movement to grow more and more”.

Malagò’s words

“The first objective is achieved: we have exceeded the number of medals won in Pyeongchang. We did it thanks to a discipline like snowboarding where we have become a world power ”. Coni president Giovanni Malagò rejoices after the silver medal of the mixed snowboard cross team. “This medal of today represents for our standard-bearer Michela an extraordinary revenge after the individual competition of the other day and for Omar a wonderful confirmation of his great abilities. Congratulations also to Caterina and Lorenzo who fought until the end and in any case allowed us to be the only nation to qualify two teams for the final. There are still eight days of competition left. This Italy can give us other joys ”.
