In a historic achievement for Italy, the nation won two medals in skicross for the first time in Olympic history, with Simone Deromedis clinching gold and Federico Tomasoni taking silver at the Winter Olympics in Livigno. Deromedis, the reigning world champion, had shown strong performance leading up to the games, and despite some expectations, the presence of both Italian athletes on the podium was a delightful surprise. Meanwhile, Tomasoni's silver was particularly poignant, as it came during his first Olympic appearance, and he honored his late fiancée Matilde Lorenzi by dedicating his helmet decoration to her memory. The heavy snowfall in Livigno did not deter the Italian skicross team, but instead seemed to bolster their performance, with Deromedis and Tomasoni achieving remarkable results amidst challenging weather conditions. As they secured the top two podium spots, the Italian team's medal count at Milano-Cortina increased to ten golds, with more opportunities for additional medals before the closing ceremony on Sunday. This achievement not only marks a milestone for the athletes but also enhances Italy's standing in the world of winter sports.
