If the snowboard cross landscape is crying, with a World Cup that will start only in mid-January and, with the cancellation of the German stage of Feldberg (5-7 February), it finds itself with only three certain appointments on the calendar, namely the he opening of Montafon, Bergamo the following week and the finals of Veysonnaz, the maximum circuit for the parallel disciplines can start.
In fact, on Saturday 12 December, Cortina d''Ampezzo will host the first seasonal PGS, followed five days later by the race in Carezza; twelve have been called up by the blue technical director Cesare Pisoni for the debut in the CdM on the “Tondi di Faloria” (final starting at 5 pm, with live TV on Raisport and Eurosport). We are talking about the holder of the crystal ball Roland Fischnaller, Aaron March, Mirko Felicetti, Edwin Coratti, Daniele Bagozza, Fabian Lantschner, Marc Hofer and Gabriel Messner for the men's team, with Nadya Ochner leading the women's team which will also count on Giulia Gaspari, Lucia Dalmasso and Jasmin Coratti. “We are finally here - explains Pisoni - Thanks to the town of Cortina and to the organizing committee is a must.
The quality of the competitions held in the past will be confirmed again this year. The Italian national team presents itself with an almost optimal preparation: despite all the difficulties we have managed to organize ourselves as best as possible for our boys, who are very motivated and will try to give everyone a hard time. This happens every year in Cortina, where our athletes exalt themselves and have always been on the podium ”.
It goes without saying that Italy, even more so after the last triumphal season, despite the absence of Maurizio Bormolini, presents itself as the team to beat. Saturday's appointment was presented online in the presence of the mayor of Cortina, Gianpietro Ghedina. “We are proud to host the Snowboard World Cup again - said the mayor - one of the most important sporting events of the winter season. With regret but with a great sense of responsibility it will be held behind closed doors. However, we are sure that, thanks to the media coverage of the event, Cortina will enter the homes of fans of this sport, making everyone experience great emotions ”.
Denis Constantini, President of the Organizing Committee: “This year is really a great challenge. Because of this health emergency situation it is really difficult to organize an event with an international dimension, but for months with the whole team we have been working to ensure that no details are left out to ensure the safety of all the people involved ". Finally Uwe Beier, FIS Snowboard Race Director, “congratulated the whole team at work for this sixth edition of the Snowboard World Cup in Cortina. It has always been a successful stage and we are very proud that this Committee is able to organize the event despite all the difficulties of the historical period we are experiencing.
An important signal for this discipline, for winter sport in general and for Cortina itself ”.
