A new change of nationality and a reinforcement for Germany, as happened with the arrival of Romed Baumann? It is possible that this situation will arise again for a good athlete such as Roni Remme, the 26-year-old Canadian who had already had disagreements with the North American federation in recent years and, just a few days ago, was officially excluded. from the national team cadres for the 2022/23 season. It emerges, according to what was reported by the colleagues of "skinews.ch", that the multipurpose class of 1996 (this year 17th in the slalom of Zagreb, but also in points twice in super-g), who took part in the last two editions of the Olympic Games, is working for the change of nationality by exploiting a grandmother native of the former East Germany, so much so that her mother possessed a German passport until a few years ago. We need the agreement between the two federations and of course the OK from the FIS, at least by the autumn. Meanwhile, an important piece of news concerning Katharina Liensberger emerges from today's columns of the “Kronen Zeitung”. The new student of Livio Magoni, who will start working on the snow with the bi world champion as early as next week in Soelden, has in fact lost the skiman with which she reached the highest levels, from the 2020/21 season, namely Raphael Hudler. The reason? The signing of “Van Deer”, evidently with a very important offer, given that Marcel Hirscher with his team is aiming to the maximum in this sector as well to support his athletes. "It is in their right to operate in this way, which is elegant is another matter - the unenthusiastic comment of the new head of the entire alpine skiing sector at OESV, Herbert Mandl - Replacing these top people in their respective roles , even for us, it is practically impossible ".
