Two Italians do the double in Sochi
After Christof Innerhofer took two medals, silver in the downhill and bronze in the super-combined, fellow countrywoman Arianna Fontana felt she had to match the Italian skier and also grabbed herself a second medal…
The Italian woman took a great bronze in the 1500 metres skating short track final, behind China’s Zhou Yang and South Korea’s Shim Suk Hee. Therefore Arianna’s total of Olympic medals has now reached four, as apart from this bronze, she picked up the same in the relay event in Turin in 2006 and in the 500 metres at Vancouver in 2010, not forgetting the silver from a couple of days ago.
There is therefore a trace of Ferrari red in all five medals won by the Italians at the Olympic Games in Sochi. As mentioned two days ago, the Maranello company played a significant role in the ice disciplines at the games as part of a project in partnership with the Italian Olympic Committee. In particular, over the past four years since the last Olympics concentrated on areas such as optmising the interface between the skate and the athlete’s shoes, the procedures for working on the blade and fine tuning the blade sharpening machine, in a process that used to be done by hand
