A year later it will still be the Rettenbach glacier, if all goes well in terms of the World Cup calendar confirmed at least for the opening with the classic giant in the Oetztal, to mark an important watershed in Roberta Melesi's career.
It was one of the most unfortunate blue in the 2019/2020 season, which started off right in Soelden with the first points in the World Cup (24th place); not even a month later, in preparation for Copper Mountain to face the entire North American trip, she who had the fixed position guaranteed in giant and super-g thanks to the amazing previous year in the European Cup, here is that damned fall that caused her a trauma sprains on both knees.
It was November 19, 2019 and it took two full months at the multipurpose center of Ballabio to return to the skis, with great caution, on "its" slopes at the Piani di Bobbio; she would have liked to be back in the final of last season, Roberta, but there was nothing to do and, including the lockdown period to slow her down, she was finally on skis to get serious together with her teammates, in the inaugural meeting at the Stelvio .
A very important signal of trust, that which the technical staff gave her by placing her in the group of multipurpose World Cup, where she has the opportunity to train in multiple disciplines and with companions who continuously raise the level. The year of consecration? If there are no hitches, who knows if the young woman from Lecco cannot treat herself and give us some great surprises ...

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.
