How is Luca De Aliprandini? Three weeks without skis, now back on track to aim for the Games

The fall in the giant of Adelboden was felt, with the left ankle that prevented the vice world champion from wearing the boot for this long period. For the race on 13 February it will not be easy to have the best conditions.

We naturally speak of Sofia Goggia's recovery, which would have been miraculous. There is another blue star, however, who experienced a complicated month of January and who will not be able to reach the top, as he had shown he could do until the fall of Adelboden, at the next Olympic Games in Beijing. Luca De Aliprandini is one of the best medal cards for the men's sector, even more than 12 months ago at the World Cup in Cortina, when he turned silver in "his" giant; the qualitative leap of the Trentino was evident, from the first podium in the World Cup on the Gran Risa, to the continuity in general demonstrated by the first race in Soelden up to the last pre-Olympic on 8 January on Chuenisbargli. A sigh of relief was breathed after the first diagnoses following the fall of the Swiss giant in the 1st heat, but the impacted left ankle created many problems. An important distortion that prevented Luca, for three weeks, from putting on his boot and being able to get back on skis. As confirmed by Walter Girardi, lighthouse of the blue technicians for the gigantists, to Paolo De Chiesa, for the vice world champion the return on the snow is expected only in these days, basically two weeks from the five-circle race scheduled for February 13th. . Fundamental tests to understand the condition and then fly to China with some more certainty.
