Without Anna Veith who announced the retirement, the Styrian coach will recover various athletes, including Huetter in the downhill team, Brunner in giant and Schild in slalom, with the news of Florian Scheiber at the head of the speed sector that he saw some athletes like Schmidhofer, Venier and Tippler already perform a very good training session in Soelden. "We found winter conditions, simply fantastic", Mitter's words after the conclusion of the rally in the location hosting the World Cup opening.
"A huge effort by the federation, but everything has been organized to the best and we have been able to work from the descent to the slalom - he continues - For us it is essential to put together as many days as possible on skis in these conditions, also because we will not go in South America and not even New Zealand.

It is an advantage over other countries to have all these options at home, but there is also a plan to try working between Norway and Switzerland. "
Thinking about the disparity between the various national teams and the opportunities to train? “The hope is that we will soon be able to have equal opportunities, as well as to be able to play the entire calendar of next season. But it won't be easy ... ".

E' scomparso a 91 anni un simbolo di Sappada, Eliseo Sartor. Fauner commosso: Un secondo padre oltre che un maestro
Nella notte se n'è andato un uomo che è stato fondamentale per i trionfi dello sci di fondo italiano nati proprio dalla realtà sappadina, con Silvio Fauner e Pietro Piller Cottrer diventati campioni olimpici. Colui che guidò allo storico titolo la staffetta di Lillehammer 1994 ha ricordato così il suo primo tecnico, le parole anche di Lisa Vittozzi.
