Sunday the big party for Innerhofer in Speikboden, first steps for recovery after knee injury

The fan club of the South Tyrolean champion has organized a full day on skis to toast a positive season, before the stop at the Italian championships in Cortina

For Christof Innerhofer, the 2018/19 season was really very good, perhaps even more in terms of performance than in terms of results, given that the 34-year-old South Tyrolean champion was aiming to return to success in the World Cup, after so many years of fasting , as well as a medal at the world championships in Are, where he had to settle for 4th place in super-g. Three second places arrived, downhill in Lake Louise and Bormio and in the super-g of Val Gardena, just 5 hundredths from Svindal, some regrets for the Kitzbuehel races and, unfortunately, the very serious injury just in the last seasonal race . The super-g of the Italian championships in Cortina was at "Inner" the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee, many weeks of crutches and a recovery phase already begun and seasoned in the next few hours by an appointment that will certainly snatch a smile more. In fact, on Sunday April 14th, the usual Christof Innerhofer Fan Club race will be staged in the Speikboden ski area; it will start from 7am to 8.30am with the delivery of the bibs in the valley station, while the start of the competition is set for 9.30am on the Seenock track. Awards from 14 in Enzianhutte, with various prizes drawn. The 2019 edition presents the novelty of the "Nostalgia" category, a ski mountaineering trial that will run from arrival to departure and back to the finish area.

Ancora una volta, l'ultimo atto del massimo circuito della versione estiva dello sci di fondo si concluderà nel territorio fiemmese. Tra Ziano e l'Alpe Cermis andranno in scena mass start, individual e team sprint e con Vigants e Aarekol leader delle classifiche generali. Grande attesa per gli azzurri, reduci dai Mondiali in Lettonia che hanno portato quattro medaglie, con Emanuele Becchis iridato nella sprint per la quinta volta in carriera, due anni dopo la perla proprio in Trentino.
