Sporting philosophy / motto"You have to have a strong character to overcome the tension and pressure in a race. Then it takes luck, because with contact you never know who will remain standing. Of course you still need skill." (olimpiazzurra.com, 28 Mar 2013)
GeneralRELATIONSHIP WITH TEAMMATES
She finds competition can sometimes put a strain on her relationships with teammates such as Raffaella Brutto, but she generally finds the spirit in the Italian squad to be very positive. "Raffaella and I are going to risk fighting because of our strong characters. We spend a lot of time together and we love each other. The same goes for the men in the team and we feel like a family." (olimpiazzurra.com, 28 Mar 2013)
