Cortina d'Ampezzo (Belluno), Feb. 17 (LaPresse) – "The 23rd tricolour medal is an electrifying bronze that Flora Tabanelli won in freestyle big air. Launching herself along the 75 meters of ramp with a 37-degree slope, the take-off and the beginning of a dance of as many as 4 and a half rotations, turned a simple snowfall in Livigno into part of the choreography of a masterpiece. In that grab, dear Flora, there was the whole of Italy! You too are an example of courage, strength and determination, despite that torn cruciate ligament which tonight accompanied you in your feat holding its breath, like all of us". This was written in a post on X by the Minister for Sport and Youth Andrea Abodi. "You are the emblem of a discipline that tastes of youth, of your wonderful 18 years that are consecrated in the conquest of this latest Italian podium which will give a vigorous boost to the whole movement that is so eager to grow again…and again", he added.
