The Valtellinese, already expected in the giant race on Monday, will have to undergo a daily double molecular swab as well as the blue sledding team after the Covid case of Kevin Fischnaller.

Fears are growing and also for Italy (it could not be otherwise) the Covid problem has become real.
While the opening ceremony of these Beijing 2022 Olympic Games is underway, here comes from Yanqing the news of the particular situation linked to Elena Curtoni: the winner of the super-g of Cortina, among the best medal cards especially for "his" race on 11 February (the Valtellina, however, is also registered in the giant next Monday), was defined as the "close contact" of a person who, sitting next to him on the plane which in the week is flown towards China, was positive.
Just yesterday Elena celebrated her birthday and, within a few hours, she finds herself able to train but isolated from the rest of the team and forced to double molecular buffer daily.
Same fate of the blue sledding team, after Kevin Fischnaller's positivity emerged this morning, at the Italian dawn; from his cousin Dominik, his roommate and one of the main candidates for medals in the single race starting on Saturday (with the first two runs), to the rest of the squadron led by Armin Zoeggeler, double pad and fingers crossed.
