Alpine Skiingmen's world cup
Fisi Pentaphoto
Confirmed the positivity of the South Tyrolean sprinter, forced to skip the triple appointment on the Streif and in isolation. There is time for the last pre-world races, scheduled for 5-6 February.

The alarm was triggered with the communication from the FISI that it had not included him in the list of those called for the two descents and the super-g scheduled, from Friday to Sunday, in the Kitzbuehel temple.
The same federal press office had talked to us about health reasons related to his absence and now there is confirmation, as ANSA reported in the morning, that Christof Innerhofer tested positive for Covid by swabbing before the trip to Tyrol. The blue sprinter is obviously already in isolation and will lose the races on the Streif where, if in the downhill he has never managed to get on the podium, in super-g instead he took two podiums (3rd in 2013, 2nd in 2017).
After Moelgg, Sala a Razzoli is another blow for the men's team that is suffering so much in this first half of the season, even if as far as "Inner" is concerned, there is confidence in returning for the last pre-world races , those scheduled in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (and everyone remembers the three medals of the blue in the 2011 world championship) with super-g on February 5 and descent on 6, just before moving to Cortina for the assault on the medals on that "Vertigo" with which the 36-year-old South Tyrolean has an open account, after the injury to the crusader suffered at the Italian championships in March 2019.
