Lachtal – The Chief of Army Staff General Claudio Graziano congratulates himself with Corporal Roland Fischnaller, gold medal champion for parallel slalom at the Snowboard World Championship held yesterday in Lachtal (Austria). For the Italian athlete, who trains under the Army Sports Centre, it’s the fourth world championship medal of his career, but it’s the first gold. The race yesterday was sweeter thanks to the fourth place reached by Corporal Aaron March. The result comes just days after the dual Matteotti and Moioli success, and “is further proof of the excellence of the athletes who train in the Army sports center, testifying to the spirit of sacrifice and dedication that soldiers bring, every day, in all their activities from sports to international crises.” (9Colonne)
