The 23-year-old from Lecco, who has been training at Copper Mountain, will stay at least a few weeks with a double guardian.

A black misfortune, in the season of the definitive affirmation at high level.
He had obtained the first points in the World Cup, in the opening of Soelden with that splendid 24th place in the giant on the Rettenbach, and then to leave together with the team mates for the long gathering of Copper Mountain, already thinking about the races in Killington and Lake Louise.
Roberta Melesi, however, was again forced to stop for that ugly fall suffered in training, on the snows of Colorado, returning to Italy already last week. After the visits made in Milan, for the 23-year-old from Lecco the situation is anything but positive, with the season seeming almost compromised; the problem is related to the knees, with the blue that is using the crutches and a double guardian. "I have injuries to both knees - Roberta said - unfortunately it is part of the game, but I'll do my best to get back as soon as possible".
Recovery time? It is still difficult to establish them precisely, but at least some other week of absolute stop will be necessary, just when the season is coming to life and, with the fixed place guaranteed in the World Cup, between giant and super-g, it's a huge sin not to see a growing athlete like Melesi could play it after having already overcome various injuries, including those in the shoulder who did not stop her in the race for the European Cup last season.
