The coach of transalpine talent, gold in the special slalom
Genoa – The coach of the transalpine Clement Noel is Genoese, new Olympic champion in special slalom: Simone Del Dio. For six years at the helm of the French slalom team, Del Dio, fresh 46 years old, today more than ever one of the most appreciated coaches, for professionalism, competence and modesty of the entire White Circus, has conquered with the French team significant results, training numerous champions, favoring their consecration in the elite of alpine skiing. Now is the time for Noel, 24 years of pure talent, now more than a promise of French and world skiing. In a specialty where a real dominator has been missing for a couple of seasons, Noel, well advised and trained by Del Dio, is the protagonist.
«An athlete if he is a champion can go fast even with a mediocre coach, with a mediocre athlete a coach who is very good on the road does little. The merit is above all of the athlete, Clement is a really strong young man, I would say the best today. We can lend a hand, giving him ideas, showing him the way, but he goes on the track ».
The compliments for the gold, however, are also for her.
«I gladly accept them but the great merit is of Clement, he won with merit».
Its story begins in Prato Nevoso.
«I learned to ski in Prato, I made ski clubs with valid coaches, including Rulfi, without obtaining great results. When I was 14 I went to study in Bardonecchia at the ITC Frejus and then I graduated in physical education ».
So the way as a coach.
“I attended the instructors course at a very young age and I started training the kids, first with the ski club Melezet then with the ski club Bardonecchia and the Aoc Committee”.
Still the skiman in the World Cup and then coach of the Spanish national team. After Ravetto, the men’s Team Italy to follow the World Cup. And from 2016 the French national team, until Noel’s triumph.
«It was my third Olympics, all unforgettable but this was different, unique. They were very strong, indescribable sensations. I burst into tears at the finish. Even now I have to try to achieve ».
A long story in the snow, far from the sea where it was born.
«My parents, also very sporty, sent me to study in Bardonecchia to be able to ski. And I have been living in Bardonecchia for many years now. I like the sea, if I can I go there willingly; but in my spare time I enjoy playing golf and cycling. The important thing is to be outdoors ».
Is football?
“Between Samp and Genoa I say Samp, but I support Milan, I grew up in the days of Gullit, Van Basten and Ancelotti, it couldn’t be otherwise”.
