After the ski tragedy
“Thank you, Mikaela!” Touching gesture from Shiffrin
After her slalom show on Saturday in Levi, Mikaela Shiffrin also shone off the piste. With a touching gesture, the US ski queen brought great joy to Lucrezia Lorenzi, whose younger sister passed away around three weeks ago.
It was a very emotional race for Lucrezia Lorenzi on Saturday. Following the death of her sister Matilde Lorenzi, the Italian racer competed in the Levi slalom but missed the second run. Lorenzi was delighted that winner Mikaela Shiffrin wore a mourning bandage and didn't take it off on the podium: "Thank you for taking the bandage all the way to the top of the podium - just as Matilde would have liked!"
Face down on the piste
Matilde Lorenzi's death around three weeks ago caused horror among numerous active and former ski stars. Lorenzi had apparently hit her face on the hard piste and suffered severe craniocerebral trauma. She was taken by helicopter to hospital in Bolzano, where she succumbed to her injuries.
The Winter Sports Federation FIS and Italy's Minister of Defense Guido Crosetto condoled with the bereaved family of the army athlete, who was considered a great talent. She became national champion in the previous season after competing at European Cup and FIS level.
