The first one was good. Just turned 17, last December 23rd. That is, the same age as the debut in the World Cup of a certain Federica Brignone, moreover these days, i.e. December 28th, but in 2007. Exactly like for Lara Gut-Behrami.
Historical courses and recurrences. But above all, many positive vibes after the first time on the major circuit for Anna Trocker, born in 2008, from Fiè allo Sciliar, member of the Seiser Alm Ski Team and belonging to the Youth Group.
Without yet having played a single race in the European Cup, but after having already won in the Nor-Am Cup (in slalom however, with a 2nd place among the wide gates, again at Copper Mountain) here she is catapulted among the big teams, precisely in the discipline where there is more female competition.
With bib number 63, Anna, on a Panorama that was much more difficult than usual, with flat visibility, a different track in the upper part, hard snow and waves scattered everywhere, placed 32nd, 22 hundredths away from a sensational qualification. His attitude is fantastic on the track, but also a nice touch on the snow, which is soft and clean.
The girl is very relaxed, calm, focused on her goals, and is not influenced in the slightest by external factors. Everything is there to be able to blossom at the highest levels, it’s time to continue like this, improve day after day, work with your head down and, possibly, lower your pecs. He will certainly also be competing in Kranjska Gora between the wide gates.
And tomorrow in slalom, with bib no. 70, 16-year-old Giada D’Antonio, born in 2009, from San Sebastiano al Vesuvio (Naples), who grew up in the ranks of the Vesuvio Ski Club, will make her debut in the World Cup, even if she has now lived in Predazzo with her mother for a few months and trains with the youth team.
Daughter of a dentist, with the aforementioned Colombian/Ecuadorian mother, she grew up on the snows of Roccaraso, as a child she traveled 12 hours to train in the Alpine areas. From the first national titles won at the age of 9, to the races in which he even beat the boys; from successes with up to six seconds ahead of their opponents, to the first FIS races won starting with very high pectorals, a few weeks ago. And now here she is in the World Cup. Safe travels, “Black Panther”!
