Here are the blues for the snowboard and freestyle disciplines, with the formations to be deployed at the next Olympic Games in Beijing, made official Monday evening by the FISI.
A lot is expected again from snowboard cross, with Michela Moioli looking for the legendary encore after the gold in PyeongChang 2018: on 9 February the Bergamo-based woman will defend her title, in a competition that also includes Sofia Belingheri, Francesca Gallina and Caterina Carpano, while the next day it will be the men, with the director Cesare Pisoni who chose the quartet composed of Lorenzo Sommariva, Filippo Ferrari, Tommaso Leoni and the returning Omar Visintin, stopped from the race at the beginning of December in Montafon but recovered in extremis , he who was splendid second in the pre-Olympic at the end of November at Secret Garden.
And for the team competition on February 12, Italy perhaps starts as the favorite with Moioli in tandem with Sommariva or Visintin himself.
Six athletes for the parallel snowboard team, with the PGS scheduled for February 8 which will see Nadya Ochner and the rookie Lucia Dalmasso at the women's level, and the men's squadron with Roland Fischnaller, Mirko Felicetti, Edwin Coratti and Daniele Bagozza. Therefore, the holder of the general cup Aaron March remains at home, to whom the good result of the last specialty race in Simonhoehe was not enough.
Freestyle, on the other hand, will have Silvia Bertagna, Leonardo Donaggio, Emiliano Lauzi, Lorenzo Gennero and Louis Philip Vito III in the race, with skicross finally offering the trio of young people who have done so much in the World Cup, with Simone Deromedis, Lucrezia Fantelli and Jole Galli for the dream of a medal that would be historic.
