19 December 1976, Madonna di Campiglio (world cup)
In 1976, the White Circus stops in Madonna di Campiglio for just one day and a single race — but one destined to go down in Italian skiing history.
Radici, Gros, Thoeni: an unforgettable Italian clean sweep of the podium, the perfect expression of the extraordinary and unrepeatable sporting phenomenon that became known as the “Valanga Azzurra” — the Blue Avalanche.
