Milan-Cortina, Giacomel in tears: “I failed, I am very disappointed”

Anterselva (Bolzano), 13 Feb. (LaPresse) – “I failed, I believe this was the race best suited to me and I failed. I am very disappointed.” Tommaso Giacomel said this in the mixed zone, visibly distraught and with tears in his eyes, after finishing 22nd in the men’s biathlon sprint at the Milan-Cortina Games. “Coming here as a favorite or at least among the favorites and then performing so poorly is something that makes me very angry,” the Italian added. “Honestly, I have no idea what I did wrong in the prone. It’s not over, but Sunday’s race (the pursuit, ed.) is already compromised by today’s result.”
