Omar Visintin believes in it, he clearly wants to be there for the great goal of an entire four-year period, he who would be one of the great favorites at the Olympic snowboard cross competition, just think of his pre-injury condition and the result obtained on that Secret Garden track, with 2nd place behind that “devil” of Alessandro Haemmerle in the first round of the World Cup.
In Montafon, the South Tyrolean champion had to stop his race, with that fall costing the dislocation of his left elbow and a major head injury; in the end, Omar decided to undergo surgery and the surgery carried out in the last few hours, at the Galeazzi Orthopedic Institute in Milan, was perfectly successful.

The recovery times are those established for an injury of this magnitude: the objective indicated, in fact, is to allow Visintin to return to the track by the end of January, in time to take part in the Olympic Games. of Beijing.
