A year that opens a new four-year Olympic period, in which the Italian mountains will once again have a leading role, with the Val di Fassa presenting the 2019 Alpine Junior World Championships in the presence of the honorary President Tiziano Mellarini and the Chairman of the Organizing Committee Davide Moser, Anterselva who illustrated the news in view of the Biathlon World Cup in 2020 in the presence of Erika Pallhuber, Secretary General of the Organizing Committee, to conclude with the Alpine skiing World Cup in Cortina 2021 with the 'Administrator Delegate Valerio Giacobbi.
"The Federation has worked with great attention towards the young - said Roda after the presentations of the three world championships, statements taken from fisi.org - to give more opportunities for the boys to show off and find the right parts for the future. We have increased the number of technicians, paying particular attention to certain teams, such as the women's fund that was recreated after an experiment that did not give the desired results, because it is our duty to compete at the highest levels, even if we are aware that In alpine women's skiing we have consolidated our excellence because we are convinced that Goggia and Brignone can compete in the World Cup for important results, as well as for men of speed we have put alongside the three great experts a young man for sure take place as Emanuele Buzzi and in the technical disciplines created sub-groups to have the right turnover we have also 287 contract technicians for an economic commitment of 5 million euro and we field 380 athletes, I believe that no other federation has similar numbers. The resources have been adequate, the FISI is experiencing a positive trend, and growth, thanks to our sponsors and partners who support and allow us to compete at the highest levels. FISI is made up of 18 regional committees, over 1200 ski clubs and organizes around 7,000 races per year, so it needed to keep up with the times ".
On the candidacy of Milan-Cortina for the Winter Olympics 2026 Roda added: "We have the good fortune to have a big draw like the Junior Alpine World Championships in Val di Fassa in 2019, the Biathlon World Championships in Anterselva in 2020 and the World Ski Championships alpine in Cortina in 2021, the Olympics must arrive in Italy by force.The IOC likes an Olympics where you talk above all about sport, in existing structures and that continue to stay alive even after that date, I believe there is '' experience necessary to achieve the goal.Your application can not have major problems, because all the locations that will be considered have large facilities, ready to host the races.The fact that the same session of the CIO has been moved from Milan to Lausanne, is a signal that the candidacy can not be attacked from any point of view, at this point all that remains is to prepare the best possible dossier, Milan will have the opening ceremony and the Dolomites will be the ideal mountain ".
