Set for the beginning of July the first skiing on the glaciers of the Italian Alpine skier

At the beginning of the 2017-2018 Olympic season, there is still a lot of work, but the blue ski teams are already at work, and the head coach of the men's Max Carca illustrates in detail on fisi.org the athletic training program and the one on snow.

"We came to the third year of a multi-year project - says Carca - whose goal is to give continuity to a program begun two years ago, where athletes perform individual training tables at this time, where cycling visits Our preparers to make the point of the situation.The difference with the last few years is that we will also do two collegial rallies devoted solely to athletic preparation One has already been held at Formia's Olympic Preparatory Center, the other will hold it in the coming weeks We want to cure every aspect, especially to compare the various health states of the boys, in order to limit the maximum injuries and to work on prevention.The ultimate goal of the preparation is to increase the work volumes during the work, 'Fall and decrease them in winter, to balance the race and rest.' Then Carca explains in detail the skiing calendar, starting with the first curves on the European glaciers to continue with the trips to South America: "At this time we prefer not to ski, because in April we managed to do it for 10-12 days Thanks to the favorable weather conditions, as it has not been for a long time. This year both the technical disciplines and the fast ones will have two programming within each single group. They will all start at the beginning of July at the Stelvio Pass, from The athletes who will have the basic slalom discipline will leave August 12 with Ushuaia (Argentina, ndr), while the giants will take the plane on August 22nd, will spend about two weeks in Ushuaia, then Breaks of a few days and 12 days at Valle Nevado (in Chile, ndr), but the sprinters will start on the glaciers a little later, say late July. There will be two groups: one who understands those who are quite confident of going to the Olympics will make a glacier between Stelvio and Zermatt until the end of August, to go to Chile on September 7, where they will ski between Valle Nevado and Portillo for three weeks overall. The other part of the group will advance to South America on August 24 for two weeks at La Parva, where they will also participate in South American Cup races, then join the other at Valle Nevado. "
