Italian freestyle skiing siblings Miro and Flora Tabanelli put their sibling bond to the test at Casa Italia in Livigno, revealing how well they truly know each other.
The Tabanelli siblings, both rising stars in freestyle skiing, recently visited Casa Italia in Livigno for a lighthearted challenge organized by ItaliaTeam. The premise was simple: how well do the brother and sister really know each other? What followed was an entertaining mix of correct answers, near-misses, and sibling banter that showcased their close relationship.
Miro, born on November 17, 2004, and Flora, born on November 20, 2007, took turns answering questions about each other's careers and personal lives. The challenge revealed both their deep familiarity with each other's achievements and the occasional memory lapse that comes with being siblings.
Career Milestones and Sibling Knowledge
When it came to career achievements, both demonstrated solid knowledge of each other's breakthrough moments. Miro correctly identified Flora's first World Cup victory at Kreischberg last season, while Flora accurately recalled Miro's first X Games victory from the same season. These parallel successes highlight how the 2023-24 season marked significant milestones for both young athletes.
The questions extended beyond competitive skiing to more personal territory. When asked about Flora's worst school subject, Miro guessed philosophy, coming close to the actual answer of history—though Flora noted it was actually the subject where she received the most help. For Miro, Flora correctly identified physics as his academic weak point.
Summer Sports and Early Memories
The siblings also speculated about each other's potential in summer sports. Miro suggested Flora would excel in downhill mountain biking, while Flora envisioned her brother competing in Serbian handball, showcasing their understanding of each other's athletic abilities beyond freestyle skiing.

Both struggled with this detail from their early skiing days, eventually agreeing they likely shared the same orange and white Völkl skis—a reminder of their shared journey into competitive skiing from childhood.
Rising Stars in Italian Freestyle
The playful challenge at Casa Italia comes as both Tabanellis continue to establish themselves on the international freestyle circuit. Flora's World Cup victory at Kreischberg and Miro's X Games success represent significant achievements for athletes still in their late teens and early twenties. Their presence at Casa Italia in Livigno, an important training hub for Italian winter sports, underscores their growing prominence within the national team structure.
The video concluded with both siblings sending good luck wishes to their fellow Italian athletes, demonstrating the camaraderie within the national team as Italy prepares for future competitions and looks ahead to hosting the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics.
