L'aquila azzurra
[Val Gardena & Predazzo, Italy; Hinterzarten, Germany. 2013]
„Sometimes at night I dream about flying. I dream that I am jumping and that things are happening, which could never happen."
Back in 2013, Elena Runggaldier is a member of the Italian national ski jumping team since ten years.
With a second prize in Oslo in 2011 she won the very first Italian medal at a ski jumping world championship.
Elena was preparing for Sochi 2014 where the ski jumping ladies were able to participate in the Olympic Winter Games for the first time in history, 90 years later than their male colleagues.
In the short multimedia story »L'aquila azzurra« Elena speaks about fear, special qualities in ski jumping and above all about her sensations during the jump.
Flying with nothing but skies – about four seconds for the viewers, sometimes eternal for her.
