La série Sur les sentiers de Chamonix se poursuit avec la partie 4 consacrée à l'épreuve reine : l'UTMB, avec ses 174 km et ses 10 000 m de D+. Dans cet épisode, je vous emmène au cœur de la course pour revivre l'intensité des moments marquants, depuis le départ fébrile à Chamonix jusqu'aux passages mythiques en Italie et en Suisse. Vous serez plongés dans l'ambiance grâce à des entrevues réalisées sur le vif, entre Chamonix, Courmayeur, La Fouly et Vallorcine. On revit les superbes victoires de Ruth Croft et Tom Evans, mais aussi les coulisses d'une édition épique marquée par la pluie, les encouragements enflammés et des célébrations uniques à Notre-Dame de la Gorge, sous une pluie battante, et à la désormais légendaire Mission Vallorcine organisée par Les genoux dans le GIF. Au micro, vous entendrez : Audrée Lafrenière, Mathieu Blanchard, Josué Lobry, William Walcker, Jeff Pelletier et Alice Bourgeois.

À 27 ans, Antoine Charvolin a signé l'une des plus belles pages de sa jeune carrière en remportant la TDS 2025 (152 km / 9 000 D+), l'une des courses les plus techniques et redoutées de l'UTMB. Parti de Courmayeur lundi à 23h50, il a mené une âpre lutte avant de s'imposer en 18h22, au cœur d'une foule en liesse place du Triangle de l'Amitié à Chamonix.Originaire de Grenoble, ingénieur de formation, Antoine a choisi de se consacrer pleinement au haut niveau après avoir travaillé plusieurs années au sein de l'équipe testing chez On. Athlète discret mais redoutablement efficace, il enchaîne depuis deux saisons les performances de premier plan : victoire à la MaXi-Race (60km) cette année, 5e au Lavaredo Ultra Trail (120 km), 2e au Grand Raid du Ventoux, et désormais ce succès monumental sur la TDS.Dans cet épisode, Antoine revient sur :Sa préparation pour son tout premier 150 km.Les moments clés d'une course longtemps indécise face à des adversaires prestigieux.La gestion de ses émotions, entre lucidité, patience et sérénité.Ce que représente pour lui cette victoire et les enseignements qu'il en tire pour la suite de sa carrière.Un récit inspirant, à l'image d'un coureur qui a choisi de tracer sa voie avec simplicité, exigence et passion, et qui s'installe désormais parmi les références du trail international.Un épisode enregistré à la House of Mountains i-Run x Fraich Touch à Chamonix

This week, we welcome Paul Martino, Maria Martino, and Maria Wurtzbacher, who join host Scott Wurtzbacher to relive their fairytale on the Tour du Mont Blanc. A milestone-year idea became a self-guided loop of 100 miles around Mont Blanc across France, Italy, and Switzerland, 31,000 feet of climbing and 71 hours on trail, the kind of effort that turns friends into family.They share the shift from vacation to quest, the music of cowbells, quiet chapels that steadied shaky moments, balcony paths and a ladder section, even a helicopter's rotor wash on an exposed cliff. There is laughter at border crossings and Sound of Music singalongs, a running joke about ham and cheese, and street dancing in Courmayeur, plus generous, family-run hospitality along the way.We explore what it takes to go from point A to point B each day, training and simple routines, smart support without a guide, and the four trip markers: come home safe, achieve the goal, laugh, and cry. Intentions are tested and met: getting strong at 50, doing hard things at 60, unplugging for two and a half weeks, and learning to let go of the watch. Say yes to big adventures, choose courage over comfort, and travel together with heart.

Luigi De Pascalis"Il buio e le stelle"La Lepre Edizioniwww.lalepreedizioni.comAndrea Sarra nasce nel 1895 a Borgo San Rocco, immaginario paese d'Abruzzo all'ombra della Majella, e fa parte di una generazione che più di ogni altra vedrà cambiare il mondo. Quindici anni fa Luigi De Pascalis ha già narrato parte della sua storia, dall'infanzia alle trincee infernali della Grande Guerra, nel romanzo La pazzia di Dio, incastonato nella parte centrale di questo libro. Ora – con una scrittura poetica e insieme di raro, potente realismo – affida alla voce di Andrea il racconto del “prima”, l'epica corale e senza tempo di Borgo San Rocco, filtrato dai ricordi familiari, e di un “dopo” a Zanzibar, dove il protagonista approda alla ricerca della donna africana che suo padre Filippo ha amato più di ogni altra. Si delinea così un viaggio che coincide con la vita, in continuo moto ondivago tra passato e presente, denso di incontri che, ognuno a suo modo, si riveleranno decisivi. Come l'Ulisse omerico Andrea è al tempo stesso tutti e nessuno, sospinto da ogni lancio di dadi del destino verso un'Itaca che resta indelebile in lui, malgrado ogni sua fuga più o meno consapevole.Luigi De Pascalis ha pubblicato molti racconti di genere fantastico, vincendo diversi premi (Montepulciano, Courmayeur, Tolkien tra gli altri). È stato il primo scrittore italiano di narrativa fantastica a essere tradotto negli Stati Uniti, in un'antologia ormai storica del genere a cura di Sprague De Camp, ed è presente in molte antologie italiane. Con La Lepre Edizioni ha pubblicato anche, nel 2010, Rosso Velabro, Il labirinto dei Sarra, La pazzia di Dio; la graphic novel Pinocchio (2011, Premio Carlo Lorenzini); Il nido della Fenice (2012); Il mantello di porpora (2014, candidato al Premio Strega); Notturno bizantino (2016, candidato al Premio Strega e vincitore del Premio Acqui Storia); Volgograd (2018); Il signore delle furie danzanti (2020); Il cavaliere, la morte e il diavolo (2021). Tra i libri pubblicati con altre case editrici: La morte si muove nel buio (Mondadori 2013); Il sigillo di Caravaggio (2019), Il pittore maledetto (2020) e La congrega segreta (2022), tutti e tre con Newton Compton; Odissea futura (già finalista al premio Urania, Tabula Fati 2024). Con Delos Book, tra il 2014 e il 2023, ha pubblicato in e-book La cena di Dumas, Il collezionista di sogni, La Chanson d'Antiochie, Il vaso di Pandora.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

We are back with a long overdue review of our CCC race at UTMB, which sadly, for at least 50% of the Running Gingerly Crew, didnt go to plan! We cover the soul searching that goes on when a race doesn't go to plan, the doubts and questions that creep in and the ongoing quest to find answers and silver linings among the grey clouds. As always plenty to smile about in there too!

Takımlar Beklentileri Karşıladı Mı? Zeren Spor'un kadrosu bekleneni verebilecek mi? Galatasaray'ın organize oyunu Aras Kargo neleri geliştirmeli? Beşiktaş umut vaadediyor mu?

Jay heads over to Chamonix to take on the TDS. A race with 9400m of elevation change over 145km of remote alpine trails, the TDS has a formidable reputation for difficulty and testing the endurance of those seeking more of a challenge than the classic UTMB 100 miler can offer. TDS takes its participants from Courmayeur in Italy back to the iconic finish line in Chamonix, giving the runners a maximum of 44 hours for the journey. Its remote and exposed course includes sections of via ferrata with potentially fatal drops at 2600m and relentless climbs and descents at lung busting altitudes. In this episode we'll find out how Jay got on vs his pre race predictions. Will it be glory or will TDS claim another scalp? We hope you enjoy this episode. Thanks again to all of you for listening. If you have a moment please, like, subscribe and if you have a moment free perhaps write a short review. It's all a great help to us in growing the audience and is very much appreciated!

Exploring Lombardia, Piemonte, and Valdosta In this captivating episode of Kimberly's Italy, hosts Kimberly Holcombe and Tommaso invite listeners on a journey through the enchanting regions of Lombardia, Piemonte, and Val d'Aosta. Their mission is to spotlight the unique characteristics of Italy's 20 regions, with a particular focus on promoting lesser-known travel destinations. Lombardia: Diversity and Cultural Richness Kimberly and Tommaso begin by exploring Lombardia, a region renowned for its varied landscapes and significant economic contributions. Milan, the cultural and economic hub, takes center stage as Kimberly shares her personal experiences from living in this vibrant city. She candidly discusses the allure of Milan alongside the challenges posed by increased tourism. The hosts also highlight other noteworthy cities in Lombardy, such as Brescia, celebrated for its rich art and food culture, and Bergamo, known for its well-preserved medieval center. Their reminiscences of trips around the picturesque Lake Como and Lake Lugano, including an unforgettable encounter with Ferraris, add a personal touch to the episode. Piemonte: A Land of Culinary Delights and Natural Beauty The journey continues to Piemonte, a region distinguished by its geographical diversity. Kimberly and Tommaso delve into the world of Barolo wine and truffles, key highlights of Piemonte's culinary scene. They discuss the vibrant city of Torino and the lesser-known gem of Vercelli, famous for its expansive rice fields that attract cyclists and offer exciting river sports. This segment is a treat for food and wine enthusiasts as well as nature lovers. Val d'Aosta: Italy's Smallest Region with Grand Scenery Finally, the hosts turn their attention to Val d'Aosta, Italy's smallest region, celebrated for its pristine air and natural beauty—a stark contrast to the urban hustle of Milan. Kimberly and Tomasso share exhilarating skiing experiences at the Matterhorn and Cervinia, and explore the region's impressive wine production and breathtaking scenery, especially around Courmayeur. This segment promises to inspire outdoor adventurers and those seeking tranquility. Follow us on Social Media Instagram Facebook  Looking Ahead Stay tuned as Kimberly and Tommaso continue their biweekly journey through Italy's regions, providing invaluable insights and travel tips. Thank you for joining us on Kimberly's Italy, where every episode brings you closer to the heart of this magnificent country. Happy travels!

Wir senden aus einem kleinen und heißen Mini-Appartment in Chamonix und besprechen die 6 wichtigsten Storylines kurz vor den drei wichtigen Rennen OCC, CCC und UTMB. Gibt es das Double Double, wer sind unsere Geheimfavoriten, welche deutschsprachigen Athleten und Athletinnen haben die besten Chancen auf eine Top Ten Patzierung und warum hat Christian letztes Jahr nach der Häfte seines UTMBs ein paar Tränen im Checkpoint von Courmayeur hinterlassen!

Come anticipato nell'intervista precedente, Guglielmo Bosca (Campione mondiale di sci alpino e Campione italiano di SuperG) pur amando la camminata in montagna, per ragioni sportive deve comunque limitarne la frequenza. Essendo un discesista, infatti,  ha bisogno di mantenere una certa massa fisica motivo per il quale, in estate utilizza più frequentemente la mountainbike. A Courmayeur ci sono infatti, numerosi tragitti che permettono di usare la bici per godere a pieno del territorio. Nel corso dell'intervista, Guglielmo ci racconta i percorsi che è solito percorrere e i dettagli che piú preferisce di ogni tracciato.

Terza puntata in compagnia di Guglielmo Bosca: campione mondiale di sci alpino, campione italiano di SuperG ed amabassador di Courmayeur Mont Blanc.Dopo tanto sport, tra sci, hiking e mountainbike, a volte è giusto concedersi anche dei momenti di puro relax. Oltre a ritirarsi nella baita che possiede in Val Veny, quando ha voglia di un momento tranquillo, l'atleta si reca in un contesto unico: la piscina alpina di Plan Chécrouit nella quale è possibile tuffarsi al cospetto di un panorama...di alta quota. Nel corso dell'intervista Guglielmo offre inoltre degli spunti sportivi e turistici per chi volesse utilizzare la piscina alpina come punto di partenza per una prossima avventura. Ascolta il podcast.

In questa prima puntata dedicata a Courmayeur Mont Blanc, il nostro Mirko Sotgiu ha fatto una piacevole chiaccherata con Guglielmo Bosca (Campione mondiale di sci alpino e Campione italiano di SuperG) che, durante la pausa estiva si allena in montagna in previsione della prossima stagione invernale. Con quest'occasione, Guglielmo ci offre una serie di consigli legati alle attivitá di hiking e speed hiking che si possono praticare nella zona in cui ha scelto di vivere.

Dans les faits, à cause de la neige ça s'est transformé en 108km et 7200m de D+. ⏱️ Mon chrono final : 27 heures, 26 minutes et 57 secondes.L'objectif c'était d'aller au bout pour espérer ainsi obtenir un dossard pour la course qui me fait rêver : le Tor des Géants

Fra ieri e oggi si sta tenendo l'ottavo Forum Conftrasporto che fa il punto sul settore. Ha aperto i lavori il Presidente di Confcommercio Carlo Sangalli. Presenti anche Pasquale Russo, presidente di Conftrasporto, Mariano Bella dell'Ufficio Studi di Confcommercio, Luca Bianchi direttore di Svimez. Ieri sono intervenuti i ministri Gilberto Pichetto Fratin (Ambiente e Sicurezza Energetica) e Nello Musumeci (Protezione Civile e Politiche del Mare). Oggi invece sono intervenuti per parte governativa il Vicepremier e Ministro delle Infrastrutture e Trasporti, Matteo Salvini, e il Vicepremier e Ministro degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale, Antonio Tajani. Quello che è emerso ieri. Nel 2024, il peso del trasporto merci su strada si attesterà al 51,1% nel 2024, in crescita rispetto al 2019 (+49,5%), essenzialmente per un ripiegamento del trasporto marittimo, la cui quota si prevede scendere al 45,3%, a fronte del 47,1% del 2019. Si è tenuto inoltre martedì scorso a Courmayeur il convegno dal titolo 'Il fattore tunnel. La fragilità delle connessioni tra Italia ed Europa'. Organizzato da Confindustria. Presenti anche gli interventi (in video) del ministro per gli Affari esteri ed il Made in Italy, Antonio Tajani, e Edoardo Rixi, Viceministro delle Infrastrutture e dei Trasporti. Si è parlato di valichi transalpini e di trafori. Nello specifico la chiusura del traforo del Monte Bianco per lavori di manutenzione non procrastinabili ulteriormente per nove settimane dal 16 ottobre e con una riapertura speciale per il periodo natalizio che avverrà il 18 dicembre. Il dato che è emerso lo ha evidenziato proprio il centro studi confindustria: "Considerando una chiusura di tre mesi l'anno per 18 anni del traforo del Monte Bianco, il costo complessivo sarebbe una perdita cumulata di valore aggiunto del 9,8%" per la Valle d'Aosta". Ha aperto il convegno il presidente di Confindustria Carlo Bonomi che ha ricordato: "Con gli interventi programmati al traforo del Fréjus, al tunnel del Tenda, al traforo del Gran San Bernardo, il Monte Bianco nel 2029 rimarrà l'unica struttura di valico alpino a un'unica canna, e questo non è possibile. In base ai dati Istat - ha detto - il totale dell'import-export dell'Italia nel mondo nel 2022 è stato di 467 milioni di tonnellate. Il 43%, quasi 670 miliardi di euro, è scambiato con l'Europa e quasi la metà passa per le Alpi. Se diciamo tutti oggi che l'export è una parte importante della nostra economia, ci rendiamo conto di come è strategico il passaggio delle merci nei valichi alpini". Ne parliamo con Pasquale Russo, Segretario generale di Conftransporto e con Francesco Turcato, Presidente Confindustria Valle d'Aosta. Fabi, firmato contratto nazionale. 435 euro di aumento e arretrati per 1.250 euroÈ stato firmato questo pomeriggio dalla Fabi e dalle altre organizzazioni sindacali con l'Abi e con il gruppo Intesa Sanpaolo il rinnovo del contratto collettivo nazionale di lavoro dei 270.000 bancari italiani. Il nuovo contratto scadrà il 31 marzo 2026. Tra i punti principali dell ipotesi di accordo: 435 euro di aumento medio mensile della retribuzione, a partire dal prossimo mese di dicembre, pagamento degli arretrati per il periodo luglio-novembre di quest'anno con una media di 1.250 euro, ripristino pieno della base di calcolo del trattamento di fine rapporto a partire dall'1 luglio 2023. Gli incrementi sono così suddivisi: 250 euro, pari al 57,5% del totale dei 435 euro, a dicembre; 100 euro (23%) a settembre 2024; 50 euro (11,5%) a giugno 2025 e 35 euro (8%) a marzo 2026. L'aumento concordato, inoltre, produce effetti positivi anche sulla tredicesima mensilità. Viene ridotto l'orario di lavoro settimanale, a partire dal 1 luglio 2024, da 37 ore e mezza a 37 ore, con una diminuzione di 30 minuti complessivi. Sale da 8 a 13 il numero delle ore per la formazione retribuita. Il rinnovo del contratto collettivo interessa circa 270.000 lavoratrici e lavoratori delle banche operanti in Italia e aderenti ad Abi (altri 30.000 bancari sono dipendenti delle bcc, che hanno un altro contratto collettivo). L'intesa è stata raggiunta dopo cinque, intensi mesi di negoziato, iniziato lo scorso 19 luglio: il vecchio contratto era scaduto a dicembre dello scorso anno ed era stato prorogato più volte fino al termine del 2023. L'accordo di oggi sarà sottoposto al vaglio delle assemblee dei lavoratori. Approfondiamo il tema con Lando Maria Sileoni, Segretario generale della Fabi.OpenAI, lo scacco matto di Nadella. Intanto il Cda sarebbe stato avvertito su scoperta che minacciava umanitàIl ritorno di Sam Altman alla guida di OpenAI è la vittoria di Satya Nadella e della sua Microsoft, che con questa mossa lancia un Opa di fatto sulla start up che produce ChatGPT. Perché questa storia assurda, durata circa 5 giorni, ha definito un quadro ormai molto chiaro: i rapporti fra Altman e Nadella sono strettissimi, e anche le visioni. Quando sabato mattina - a poche ore di distanza dalla maldestra scelta del board di OpenAI di far fuori il ceo - Nadella ha di fatto blindato Altman, portandolo immediatamente co sé e affidandogli un nascente team sullIntelligenza Artificiale, il ceo di Microsoft ha di fatto tutelato la sua società, il suo investimento miliardario in OpenAI e i suoi piani nell AI generativa. Nadella, che è uno dei ceo di maggior esperienza dell'industria tecnologica, è intervenuto con grande tempismo e decisione, prendendo in mano il gioco. L'assicurazione data ai circa 700 dipendenti di OpenAI di trovare subito impiego nel nascente laboratorio di Microsoft in caso di dimissioni, è stata la seconda mossa. Lo scacco matto al board di OpenAI che aveva deciso di far fuori Altman. Di fatto, dunque, il ceo di Microsoft ha deciso le sorti di OpenAI, costringendo il board a dimettersi e a richiamare Altman, pur di garantire la sopravvivenza dell'ex no-profit di San Francisco. Ma prima del siluramento di Sam Altman da OpenAI, alcuni ricercatori avevano inviato al consiglio di amministrazione della società a cui capo ChatGPT una lettera in cui mettevano in guardia su una scoperta nell'intelligenza artificiale che poteva minacciare l'umanità. Lo riporta Reuters sul suo sito citando alcune fonti, secondo le quali la missiva potrebbe essere stata uno dei fattori che ha poi portato al licenziamento di Altman. Ne parliamo con Biagio Simonetta, Il Sole 24 Ore.

In this episode, Keely and Corrine talk through some recent races and news around the Boston Marathon and Team USA funding. Then they interview Sophie Power. Sophie Power is a long time ultrarunner and mom of three who stepped into a calling when a photo went viral of her breastfeeding her then 3 month old son in the Courmayeur aidstation during the 2018 UTMB. Since then she has become the trustee to the research and insight charity, Women in Sport, as well as launching her own advocacy organization SheRACES which fights to get more women on startlines.

Said arrivederci to Italy, Bonjour to Switzerland today! Headed out from Val Ferret just outside Courmayeur and climbed almost 800 metres in about 6K to arrive at the Grand Col Ferret bordering the two countries.

Off to a fresh (and earlier) start on Day 2 from Courmayeur. Our itinerary included an 18K day with a long climb in the first 5K.  Met some interesting people on the trail, many of whom were circumnavigating Mont Blanc in 10-14 days and were shocked to learn of the runners who could do it in less than 24 hours! Literally ran into one of our recent podcast guests, Priscilla Forgie! She is set to toe the line at CCC next week. More spectacular views and scorching heat as we finished the day somewhere in the Val Ferret region.   If you enjoyed our show please leave a rating and review.  We would really appreciate it.   Check out GottaRunRacing website here and use promo code GRRPODCAST for discounts - gottarunracing.com Check out our YouTube Channel here - https://youtube.com/@GottaRunRacing Check out GRR Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/gottarunracing/ Check out GRR Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/gottarunracing/ Check out GRR Twitter here: https://twitter.com/gottarun_racing Support us on Patreon here : https://www.patreon.com/gottarunracing

We arrived in Courmayeur from Geneva and got right down to business!  An 8K 'shakeout' run was on the itinerary and we figured it would be a great way to get our flatlander legs warmed up. Little did we know that it would be a lesson in map and sign interpretation, steep climbs (with rewarding views) and oppressive heat. We learned some important takeaways for Day 2, bring more nutrition and always pack toilet paper!   If you enjoyed our show please leave a rating and review.  We would really appreciate it.   Check out GottaRunRacing website here and use promo code GRRPODCAST for discounts - gottarunracing.com Check out our YouTube Channel here - https://youtube.com/@GottaRunRacing Check out GRR Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/gottarunracing/ Check out GRR Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/gottarunracing/ Check out GRR Twitter here: https://twitter.com/gottarun_racing Support us on Patreon here : https://www.patreon.com/gottarunracing

Patrizia Casale Brunet lebt in Courmayeur in den italienischen Alpen und betreibt dort mit ihrem Mann seit 40 Jahren ein Drei-Sterne-Hotel. Sie hat einen Sohn und einen Enkel. Ihre Leidenschaft: Lesen.

En janvier 2020, j'ai été pigé au tirage au sort de la CCC, la « petite sœur » de l'Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB). Deux mois plus tard, la pandémie frappait notre planète et tout était mis sur pause. Après annulations, reports et rebondissements, j'ai finalement pu m'aligner sur la ligne de départ de cette épreuve mythique de 100 kilomètres et 6 100 mètres de dénivelé positif. Une course alpine qui traverse trois pays, de Courmayeur en Italie à Chamonix en France, en passant par Champex-Lac en Suisse. Pour revenir sur cet objectif A de ma saison 2022, mon amie (et invitée chouchou de Pas sorti du bois) Anne Bouchard m'a proposé d'échanger les rôles et de prendre le micro d'animatrice pour diriger la conversation. Quel plaisir de revenir sur ma préparation et ma course, en compagnie de cette grande athlète qui a complété elle aussi la CCC en 2016. À travers la discussion, je vous partage des extraits vocaux enregistrés pendant ma course, de mes anecdotes de marmottes jusqu'à mon gros coup de mou à la mi-parcours. Bonne écoute!CréditsDesign graphique : David HébertThème musical : Frédérick DesrochesIdée originale, production, recherche et animation : Yannick Vézina© Pas sorti du bois 2022

In politica, nessuno è indispensabile Turismo a Courmayeur: cercasi lavoratori Aspettando il passaporto Zampirone, la spirale magica Giorgio Armani si racconta

La Milanese è active: qualsiasi sport decida di praticare lo fa con grande dedizione e competenza, come tutto il resto. Abituata fin da piccola a discese e fuori pista, appena se ne presenta l'occasione va in montagna, a Courmayeur o Celerina, dove pratica non solo lo sci ma cerca subito un campo da padel, nuova fissazione. Visionaria e innovativa, ha capito prima delle altre che anche il campo da calcio poteva essere un terreno su cui misurare la propria affermazione: così, se una volta lasciava - storcendo il naso - che il marito andasse alla partita la domenica, ora lo segue. Anzi. è lei stessa una tifosa appassionata, e vuole che la propria figlia frequenti, più che un corso di danza, un campus di calcio. L'estate è un momento di vacanza, ma anche di movimento: ci si organizza per surfare, nuotare, scalare... Ma la vera passione è lo yoga, con anche il retreat a Bali che «spezza» l'inverno. In questo episodio intervengono Adriano Galliani, oggi amministratore delegato del Monza dopo oltre trent'anni al Milan; Francesca Senette, giornalista televisiva, autrice del «Piccolo libro dello yoga»; e Il Pagante, gruppo musicale di successo, protagonista di eventi in discoteca.

Our guest this week had an immediate rise up the WTA rankings when she made her first tour final at just 16 years old. Now ten years later, with a decade of experience under her belt, she continues to be a force in the tennis world, most recently her surprise run to her 3rd career WTA singles title in Courmayeur, Italy to cap off an extremely difficult year. It was a season of question marks as she was unable to compete for most of 2021 with a severe knee injury that required surgery....but who doesn't love a great 2022 WTA comeback? In this interview, Donna talks about her years on tour, her favorite matches, including her defeat of Maria Sharapova in her very last tour match. We discuss what's next for her, including her new candle & fragrance line, DNNA and we hear her thoughts on how social media has impacted her career, as well as how she likes to celebrate after big matches. You won't get a more raw look at a player that at just 25 has already had a successful career, including a top 20 ranking, wins over several former world #1's and a 2019 US Open Quarterfinal appearance. She has big plans to accomplish even more as she enters the next phase of her tennis journey. I hope you'll join us in getting to know....the fantastic Donna Vekic. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jon-guerrica/support
