By 2004 Zorzi took part in several World Cup races, but from 2005 to 2007 he only competed in FIS races , in which he was three times in the top ten in these three years. Since the 2008 season , Zorzi has been back in the World Cup. This year he reached 21st place in the super combination of Rettenbach and 23rd place in the super combination of Forni di Sopra as well as three top 20 results in FIS races, which put him 40th in the overall World Cup occupied. In the 2009 season he was able to improve his results and achieved his best result of the season with 13th place in the first slalom of Čenkovice .
