biography

In December 1999 Razzoli first took part in FIS races . Another five years passed before he started playing in the European Cup because he repeatedly suffered from chronic back pain that had to be treated with lengthy therapies. In addition, because of his larger than average shoe size 47, he was unable to find ski boots for a long time that would allow him to ski painlessly. In 2006 he was in the top ten several times in the European Cup, and in the same year he became Italian slalom champion.

Razzoli's first World Cup race was the slalom on December 18, 2006 on the Gran Risa in Alta Badia . He won World Cup points for the first time as 24th of the slalom in Kitzbühel on January 27, 2007. Razzoli finished the 2006/07 European Cup season as third in the slalom classification. On January 6, 2009, Razzoli achieved a podium for the first time in a World Cup race when he finished third in the night slalom in Zagreb with the high starting number 43. At the 2009 World Championships in Val-d'Isère , he failed in the first slalom run. On January 6, 2010, Razzoli won his first world cup race, the slalom at the Snow Queen Trophy in Zagreb.

Razzoli achieved his greatest success so far at the 2010 Winter Olympics : On February 27, 2010, he won the gold medal in slalom in Whistler , just ahead of Ivica Kostelić . The next year he was eliminated in the second round of the 2011 World Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , after finishing eleventh in the first run. At the end of the 2010/11 season , Razzoli celebrated his second World Cup victory at the finals in Lenzerheide .

After another podium place in December 2012 in Alta Badia , Razzoli gradually began to lose touch with the world's best. In the winter of 2013/14, he was only three times just under the top 15. The 2014/15 season began with just as restrained progress before he increased significantly from January 2015 and was regularly classified in the top 10 again. In the last two World Cup slaloms of the winter, in Kranjska Gora and Méribel , he came second. Another second place followed on January 17, 2016 in Wengen. A week later, on January 24, 2016, Razzoli suffered a tear in the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee at the World Cup slalom on the Ganslernhang in Kitzbühel , which meant that the current season was over for him. He had already been levered out in the third gate of the first passage and fell.
