Milan, 16 February (LaPresse) – ‘I don’t want to talk about sad things, because the joy is too great. I got goosebumps at the end and now my heart is bursting. I showed my best side in this race.’ These were the words of Lisa Vittozzi, who won Olympic gold yesterday in the 10 km biathlon pursuit at the Milan-Cortina Games. ‘It’s wonderful to win in front of my family and my boyfriend.
