My older sister Inna was the first to start figure skating. She is about two years older than I am, so, of course, I was interested in everything she did. I would sometimes watch her […]

Hockey. Canada. The Olympics. My life could very well be described using only three words, the three words that I repeated to myself even during the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games: hockey, Canada, and the Olympics. […]
Every coin, just like every story, has two sides. And most people, if they see one, don't see the other. Neither is false, neither is less important, neither version will ever be complete. Ignorance is […]
One step forward. One step back. Jerk to the side, feint, speed change. The idea starts from afar but then slams straight into someone else's. Like when I was a kid, and they took […]
It's been a long time now, and I don't remember many details from when I was little. Surely, growing up, I was a very active child and this is probably thanks to my brother Jamie. […]
When I walk in the evening of Livigno, avoiding the streets of the center, I need only a few steps in the right direction to find myself completely alone, in total peace. Immersed in the […]
Dad dedicated his whole life to volleyball. Mom, instead, to athletics and, although she did a little bit of everything, her absolute favorite discipline was the high jump. Here: I grew up as the direct […]
Sometimes the only thing more painful than training is not being able to do it. Sport is good, everyone knows that. Sport is good for physical and mental health. But when it becomes your job, […]
S port taught me a lot, but it never prepared me for what would come after. Many things have changed in my life since I retired, and I am still trying to figure out what […]
Kjetil André Aamodt had a glittering career and he won a lot of races. His trophy cabinet contains a collection of cups and medals that makes you think, or better, firmly believe, that you’re in […]
As a child I wasn’t exactly a model student. I didn’t have an aptitude for studying and spent most of my time resting my chin in my hand feeling bored. I used to stare through […]
I’ve won my fair share of races, and of medals too. I reached the top and became the best of the best. I claim credit for that. And yet my most cherished memory, my perfect […]
2017 was my best season so far, and I remember a special moment from that year, that I experienced in Cortina. My entire family had arrived to see me compete and I always feel different […]
I’m really excited to put a high level of skiing in a race again, especially in a giant slalom. Because skiing and winning at that level is really tough and I still feel like I’m […]
Complaining is always easy. We focus on what has been taken from us, or changed, without our consent. But then if we look closely, often we realize that in reality we have been more fortunate […]
I've always known what it means to work for nothing. Without having a profit or an economic return. I've always known what is the most important thing, between a dream and a penny, to have […]
Before me. After me. The ‘Attacking Vikings’ existed before I made the national team and there is no doubt that they will still exist when I retire from competition. When the great champions from the […]
Dear Clemens, I know you think you don't have time to waste reading a stupid letter when instead you could be on some meadow scampering around, running, and jumping with your mates. So, you know […]
Everyone says they have a dream. Sophisticated, or simple. Unrealizable at the beginning or perfectly aligned with your own natural talents, the direct consequence of a path that fate has laid under your feet. Dreams […]

I think that my very first memory about motorsport is down at the track while my father was racing. My mom was holding me and I clearly remember the noise and the smell of the […]
