The Alpine Skiing World Championship will take place in the outstanding Cortina d'Ampezzo in February, 7th-21st. It is already one of the most awaited events of 2021! The Championship, with its global reach, gives prestige to Italy and to the whole Italian ski movement. During two breathtaking weeks, the best alpine skiers of the world, women and men, will compete one after the other, at the highest level for the coveted medals.

We discussed the event and the emotions with 4 Legends who have made the history of Alpine skiing: Gustav Thöni, Kristian Ghedina, Giorgio Rocca, Julia Mancuso.

Remembering their days of glory, the Legends shared memories, anecdotes and background bits on those Championships that saw them as protagonists, reliving unforgettable moments of their careers and accompanying us to the next World Championships in Cortina. Between 1972 (Sapporo) and 2013 (Schladming), they collected 16 medals, writing an unforgettable piece of the history of this competition.

 

 

Gustav Thöni

One of the greatest and most successful skiers ever, he won 5 gold medals between 1972 and 1976 at the World Championships.

 

Giorgio Rocca

3 World Championship medals won at the editions of St. Moritz 2003 and Bormio 2005: in Bormio, Giorgio was the "flag-bearer" of our country, experiencing the unique thrill of being a protagonist in a Championship held "at home".
