Flavio Roda: "There are no more conditions to compete in the downhill in Bormio"

The President of the Italian Winter Sports Federation in view of the FIS congress in Zurich back on now virtually certain failure to dispute the men's World Cup downhill in & nbsp; Bormio over the Christmas period.

"I wonder whether it is conceivable that a company & agrave; plants can put the word end on an international event in many years has brought visibility & agrave; television world and prestige to the Valtellina and Bormio, in particular - says Roda -. We were able to anticipate the date to 28 - reaffirms Roda - as required by the same company & agrave, of the plants. In pi & ugrave, the Region of Lombardy in the person of President Roberto Maroni & egrave; post as guarantor and & egrave, also committed to provide an economic contribution higher in years past. We also got the International Federation to be able to renegotiate the date in the next few years, but the Bb & egrave; deaf to everything & ograve, and renunciation of the race and the chance & agrave; continue to negotiate without even recognize us & ograve, that same race goes for Lombardy and for the 'Italy. Di World Cup races, the Grand Prix of Lombardia Monza and Bormio, other non c' & egrave ;. It seems to me absurd - concludes Roda -. Fisi to & agrave; anything to keep that race in Italy, certainly not more & ugrave; Bormio where I do not think so that there is more & ugrave; any kind of condition. " "Despite the willingness & agrave; Lombardy Region to help and reach out to economic demands higher than those of last year for the construction of the men's downhill World Cup ski in Bormio, the property & agrave; ski lifts decided not to to compete in the race - reaffirms Antonio Rossi, a former great paddler and Sport Councillor of the Region of Lombardy -. & Egrave, a lack of opportunity for Lombardy and serious damage to the tourism system / sports of the area, which will account for future investments in the mountain area. Sorry mostly because & eacute; Regione Lombardia had made arrangements with the FIS to establish a strategy that would convince the FIS to change the date of the race, as required by the SIB. With this waiver will & agrave; difficult dialogue with the International Federation and get something from them in the future. " Source: http://www.fisi.org/node/54954
