    Tomba was my favorite skier. I remember when he blew everyone away in the the 1988 Olympics. I was 16 years old when I was watching live on TV.

      Huh? Where was Tomba during the Super-G and dowhill races? He was hiding scared in the bar with a drink in his hand. Alberto was not a complete alpine skier, he was just a slalom skier - and a funny guy that made a lot of jokes about himself not being able to race in the fast disciplines.

      ventende Dude, are you stalking my comments on Bomba Tomba? Just joking, that would be your opinion Sir., which I fully respect. Me, I think the Bomba was the most talented one, well over, say, Aamodt or Stenmark. There are absolutely no basis (again, in my opinion), to measure a skier's skill by the type of race he's specialized at.

      ventende ...again you and your theories of "true alpine skiers"?!?! I would remember that Tomba alone won more races than "your" Kjus and Aamodt together...and Stenmark too has never raced in fast disciplines, like Klammer or Hermann Maier in the slow ones... Kjus and - moreover - Aamodt were great skiers, Tomba, Maier, Stenmark or Klammer were champions you can see once every 10-20 years. That's all.

    La postura ed il baricentro
    Il tronco come timone di una nave.
    Assoluto controllo della posizione degli arti inferiori e superiori, sci perfettamente in armonia
    È stato ed ancora adesso è il migliore di tutti
    La pianura padana non produce talenti simili
    Alberto you are "One in a million"

    The worst thing for his opponents was to ski after him, because everybody knew that if La Bomba crossed the finish line, it was over, you could just run for 2nd.

      They weren't even shaped back then, were they? Can't remember when I got my first pair of shaped skis but I know it was into the 1990s.

    • @beaulieusurmer1
      @beaulieusurmer1 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Bologna is famous for its hills and my grandpa used to ski there in the 30/40s...The Appennines just below Bologna are full of ski resorts (e.g. Abetone, Cimone, Sestola, ecc) even if not as great as Dolomiti or other italian resorts. Ps anyway even Zeno Colò and Giuliano Razzoli come from there
