A few weeks ago, I carried the Olympic flame on its way to Valtellina. The experience lasted just a few minutes. It was simple but really emotional for me. Happy people all around, and the realization that Valtellina was soon going to be the center of the world.
A bit later I was in Bormio, watching the slalom on the Pista Stelvio. World class athletes racing on a slope I have been skiing on. Hearing different languages in the crowd. Everybody, once again, happy and somehow cheering together (the people sitting next to me were English and I ended up helping them waving the Great Britain flag...).
