“The boys of the parallel carried out the athletic training at the CPO of Formia - explains Pisoni in detail - We have an excellent team that in the men has eight elements among the top twenty-five in the world. I have often said that only Norway in cross-country skiing can boast such a level; last year we paid the price of Covid in mid-January, with Edwin Coratti who suffered the consequences before the Olympics, then redeemed himself in the season finale.
We have a team from which a lot is expected, with Coratti himself in his maximum maturity. With the snowboard cross athletes we had some excellent sessions at the Stelvio, where we will also see how the situation of the construction of a new slope for training at the "Cristallo" will evolve. Our three points also for this year will be Michela Moioli, Omar Visintin and Lorenzo Sommariva ”.

The team has been confirmed to five elements (three males and two females). We expect Jasmin Coratti to make it into the top three of the European Cup to earn a spot in the World Cup. Last year he had the chance but did not make it, however winning at the end of the season in both specialties at the Italian championships ".
Three male athletes were included in the junior SBX, with Jamie Lee Castello returning from skicross. Federico Podda and Matteo Rezzoli also enter, while Sofia Groblechner and Marika Savoldelli are confirmed in the women's category.
