General Interest

BREAKTHROUGH MOMENT
In 2005 at the age of 12, he won the giant slalom at Topolino, a prestigious children's race in Italy. "When I realized I wanted to be an Alpine ski racer… I got good results first in national races. Then all of a sudden one day I was competing in Italy at this international kids race. And I won this race and I remember this feeling of international victory. It was something special. I wanted to do it more." (atomic.com)
