came the end of the Olympic ski jumps in Pragelato?

In the last two days there was the public presentation and approval by the city council Pragelato a redevelopment and renovation of the Jumping Stadium, erected on the occasion of the Winter Olympic Games in Turin in 2006.

The Pragelato Natural Terrain (PNT) was born about three years ago, after the municipal elections of the "United for Pregelato list", headed by the current mayor Monica Berton, and development of the project was entrusted to the Turin Alessandro Cimenti. As is known by at least half a decade, the complex comprises five trampolines has been classified as a critical issue in the Val Chisone, along with the gut luge and bobsled allocated in Cesana Pariol. In this regard it was launched on May 8, 2012, a law that regulates the extraordinary maintenance and upgrading of the Olympic sites based on what had been allocated in the 2012 budget law. Well, within a few months you should get the final tranche of this state funding, which would finance, in part, the project presented to the population pragelatese Sunday, March 26 at the conference "10 hectares of possibilities". Let's see in detail what are the choices made by the local administration to be reached the PNT: extension of the chair lift of the Olympic diving boards, complete dismantling of trampolines HS 106 and HS 140; makeover area overlooking the ski jumps. Related to these three pillars is the adaptation of existing premises, such as the judges' tower will become a hotel, and the maintenance of the so called School jumps (K60, K30 and K15). According to the architects of this project, the hill where there are still a large and normal hill, it would become a track for alpine skiing, which has its starting point would be represented by the end of the chairlift extension. In this way Pragelato would again have a sports ferment, transforming the current mono-disciplinary area in a multidisciplinary and above would have a realistic chance to bind to the Milky Way ski area. How have you come to a choice so drastic to demolish this global showpiece? If you take as a reference the other great national pole of the jump, ie Predazzo, substantial differences emerge: the Trentino-Alto Adige region enjoys special status, while the Piedmont not. This translates into greater economic strength for the town thirty, which enjoys funding that only there can have (economic). Second in Pragelato completely it lacks a culture tied to special jump and never seems to have been the idea of ​​resent (cultural nature), such as has never existed a basic technician to recruit young talent, there as elsewhere, even without the larger tradition in this regard. Even the territorial nature has ceased to exist, because the places linked to the jump are mostly found in the north-east of Italy and disuse of these years has certainly not favored a relocation also in Piedmont.
