Junior World Championships: Nicole Delago takes bronze - UPDATE

Nicole Delago was the only athlete who was able to stand up to the Norwegian local heroes in the downhill on Friday morning. The 19-year-old from Wolkenstein, who celebrated her World Cup debut in St. Moritz in January this year and was named Italian vice champion in the Super-G and downhill in Pila two weeks ago, finished the race in third place, 75 hundredths behind Place. Only the new world champion Mina Fuerst and her compatriot Maria Therese Tviberg were ahead of her. Delago is only the second South Tyrolean to win a Junior World Championship medal in this discipline. Before her, only Lucia Recchia (silver 2000 in Mont St. Anne) achieved this feat. Exactly ten years ago, Nadia and Elena Fanchini were the last Italian women to make it to the “Stockerl” in the descent. The second South Tyrolean downhill skier also celebrated a sense of achievement: Verena Gasslitter achieved an excellent seventh place at the end of the speed competition.

Henri Battilani is world champion, Zingerle is eliminated In the men's category, 21-year-old Henri Battilani from the Aosta Valley is the new world champion. He relegated the Norwegian Marcus Monsen (+0,33 seconds) and the Swiss Niels Hintermann (+0,34). However, the only participant from South Tyrol, Hannes Zingerle from Val Badia, was eliminated. For the “Azzurri” this Junior World Championship ends with two gold and one bronze medals.
