I imagine the training environment in Champery to be this homey, cozy sort of atmosphere. And how can it not be with Stephane and Deniss there, both who look like such fun people to be with.

Guest turquoiseblue Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Catching up with Franca Bianconi Quote How and when will the decision about the Olympic Games be made? We have certain rules: you have to make a sum of three international competitions plus the points at the Nationals. This rule determines the national ranking and based on this ranking our technical committee will decide who goes to next competitions - Europeans, Olympics, and Worlds. So even if the Nationals - hopefully not! - go less well for him, Matteo still has a good "cushion" of points from his recent competitions, right? Yes, based on his international competitions he is now very much ahead of others, because he earned around 230 points in three competitions, so it's pretty good. I know that our technical committee is very happy with his results; our federation is going to give him their full support. So I really hope he can make it. Quote Let's move to your other student, Roberta Rodeghiero. We haven't seen her this season yet... Yes, Roberta is having health problems. It's a pity because she was really good, and she was also getting better and better. And all of a sudden she started feeling not well, and they just can't find a solution to this problem. We have been working a lot with doctors to try to solve this and so far it hasn't worked. They say that probably in ten to twelve months it will be better; the problem is we don't have this time. She has to try to compete at the end of November, maybe in Graz. And we will see. Italy has two spots for ladies at the Olympics, so it's Carolina and one more girl. Yes and the rule is the same. All Italian girls have to compete internationally and gain the points. And we will see who will be the best. Of course, there are some exceptions that the federation can make. I'm sure that if Roberta is able to perform well, even if she didn't make the three competitions, she will be taken into consideration, because she did very well, she has a good World ranking, she has experience, and she is really the second best skater we have after Carolina. Hopefully she can recover and pull herself together for the Olympics. Quote The Italian police force also helps some skaters, is that right? Yes, when they are very, very good at international level, they can get into the army or police, and then they receive a salary. And it's the main thing which keeps our athletes going. But you can get this when you are Valentina and Ondřej. Matteo, for example, still doesn't have it. The ice dance team, Guignard/Fabbri, they just got in last year. So you see how high you have to get, it's not easy. Also they help all the sports, not only figure skating. So you have to be, let's say, top ten in the world.
