“I don't like talking about heirs; each of them has her own style, her own way of being, and in each one I find a piece of who I was.”
“Even the injuries, in their own way, taught me something.”
“I have a special fondness for Marchisio, with whom I share my same knee troubles...”
“I hope she can far surpass my number of wins, so as to finally bring the World Cup to Italy among the women too.”
“I was young, I didn't even want to go to Albertville, then they convinced me...”
“The Albertville gold was unexpected; the Lillehammer victory was the one of self-awareness.”
“Of Lillehammer I remember the magnificent atmosphere; they were the last 'real' and sustainable Olympics.”
“The Olympics are a strong message for society, because sport unites.”
“May the Milano Cortina 2026 Games be the Games of all of Italy.”
“I say that behind these triumphs there is a great team effort.”
“Skiing remains a masculine sport by nature: cold, bags and big duffels, very tiring.”
“Before my Olympic debut I was scared and I took refuge at my grandmother's.”
“I quit at 29, fairly young, and I never felt the urge to come back.”
“Then Federica Brignone came along. How good she is, how wonderful to see her triumph like that.”
