Alpine skier
alba de silvestro
She has been chasing her love for mountains and sports for as long as she can remember. Born in a small town in the Belluno area, Alba first became passionate about downhill skiing and then about running. Ski mountaineering, a perfect combination of the two disciplines, came a bit by chance: "They proposed me to try and from that day on I never stopped doing it." In 2012 Alba joined the Italian national team, winning several podiums and personal bests. Now that ski mountaineering is also part of the Olympic disciplines, we look forward to seeing her 5-ring dream come true.
