Vars – Simone Origone has made world skiing history once again. A few days ago, the Italian five-time world champion and winner of eight World Cups, has beat his own world speed skiing record at Vars, setting a blistering new speed of 252.632 km/h. This means Origone has now achieved one of the two goals he’d set himself for the season. The other was to become world champion in Andorra, a title that in the end he had to concede to a very special team-mate, his younger brother, Ivan. (9colonne)
