“Certainly it’s a bittersweet penny – commented Curtoni -, but that’s okay because I managed to trust my instincts and that’s how you can be fast. Tomorrow I’ll have to change a bit for the downhill and try to be fast there too. But my approach to the whole weekend will be the same as today and I also hope for the results. At this moment I don’t care about the color of the bib, we’ll see at the end. I’m satisfied with the work done this year, but you don’t have to fall asleep. Today there was a bit of wind at the start and this helped some athletes to be faster at the start”.
