Magoni’s quotes from the Italian press, of course, quickly reached the Vlhová and Slovak public and caused a great stir. In the paper, Magoni first praised his charges and compared her journey to triumph to the campaign of Atalanta Bergamo footballers against the biggest clubs. Subsequently, however, his words turned to sharp criticism.
Magoni talked about the fact that Vlhová could no longer improve, which made him think about whether it was not time to end the cooperation.

However, the competitor herself behaved professionally and did not want to comment on the coach’s statements from the press until she spoke to him in person. According to the Slovak daily Šport, this has happened during the last days in Jasná, where Vlhová is testing the material for the next season.

“I want to explain and conclude this unnecessary discussion about the conversation, which was very misinterpreted and not written correctly. The newspaper does not specialize in sports and not in downhill skiing at all, “the coach explained the case for Sport.
“The author of the interview asked me what I think about Petrina’s performances in comparison with other skiers (Italians, because they are Italian newspapers), but also with Shiffrin and Maze. To understand this correctly, I wanted to emphasize the enormous quality of the work that Petra did. I used a special Italian expression to say that Petra had iron legs. Not that it’s iron, “Magoni put out the scandal.
The Austrians did not even congratulate. They will not try to beat the Slovak, says Father Vlhová

The 55-year-old coach apologized not only to Vlhová but also to the whole of Slovakia for what he caused by an interview in the Italian daily. “But I think it’s an exaggeration to put a lot of importance on an interview compared to everything we’ve done and achieved,” he added.
