Ski mountaineering excluded from the Olympics? The Valtellina there is. And here comes an appeal to the Olympic Committee to include ski touring between the disciplines of the Winter Olympics. The Comunità Montana Valtellina and Sondrio and Valmalenco Tourism Association entrust the inquiry to the Russian Sports Federation currently in retreat in Valmalenco. '' And the Vice President Dario Ruttico to convey the request for ski touring can be inserted between the disciplines of the Olympic Winter Games.
The initiative of the mountain has already found the adhesion and support councilor for Sports and Tourism of the Union of Municipalities of Valmalenco, Marco Negrini, and Consorzio Turistico di Sondrio and Valmalenco and could take advantage of a unique opportunity : it will be asked for support in this battle to the representatives of the Russian Winter Sports Federation, currently in pre-Olympic withdrawal in Valmalenco with the Freestyle Ski Team. An important choice and not by chance, given that the Russian Federation is now the ' organizer of the Winter Games in Sochi in 2014 and this makes the law a'' authoritative ambassador of the request from the International Committee. Another coincidence is not a minor, the imminent appointment to Campagneda Lanzada (SO), the Italian Alpine Ski Championships climbing the next 15 and 16 March.
This international appeal, as well as having a clear meaning sports, could also have important implications in the relationship between man and mountain, giving greater visibility to this discipline characterized by an approach that is respectful of the environment'' by those who practice it.
And, do not underestimate it knows that, more notoriety and attention to touring would mean even greater attention to the technical awareness on excursions, to the benefit of the delicate issue of security.
