He had done too much in the specialty opening, taking home points in the first of Levi's two slaloms after skiing a few days from October until that weekend of 21-22 November. Then Martina Peterlini was forced to stop again, giving up the parallel of Lech / Zuers and then the two opening slalom of the European Cup, last weekend in Valle Aurina. The problem is that the back pain of the young woman from thirty does not heal, indeed as she announced today the situation is quite critical, suggesting that competing between Semmering (29 December) and Zagreb (3 January), World Cup, it is very complicated. "Unfortunately, since October I have been suffering from severe back pain, in the last few days I have done more in-depth examinations from which it emerged that I have bone edema in the sacro iliac joint - wrote Martina on social media - I'm doing everything possible, but healing takes time; I am aware that it will not be easy, but I do not want to give up and therefore I will try to manage myself and be stronger than the pain ". And it would be a real shame because a crucial phase of the season for the woman who, behind Irene Curtoni, is perhaps the most ready blue slalom rider to already grasp important results, as she had shown in the second part of the 2019/2020 CdM together with Marta Rossetti, with whom he had also shared the successes in the European Cup.
