Emanuele Buzzi, Christof Innerhofer and Dominik Paris will arrive on the Argentine snows of Ushuaia and will remain there until Friday September 7th, after which they will move to Chile, to La Parva. The return to Italy is scheduled for Friday, September 21st. The move to Chile has been confirmed for now, as the sector manager Alberto Ghidoni and the technicians Christian Corradino and Raimund Plancker have decided to check the snow situation directly on the spot and a final decision will be taken by the end of August. If the group remains in Ushuaia, it will return to Italy on Monday 17 September. Saturday 25 Stefano Gross and Manfred Moelgg will reach Ushuaia in turn, followed on Wednesday 29 by Fabian Bacher and Roberto Nani, the group, with whom will be the slalomist manager Stefano Costazza and the technician Daniele Simoncelli, will return to Italy on Monday 17 and will be completed Friday 7 by Giuliano Razzoli, who has been in the southern hemisphere for a few days but in Oceania, where he will take part in some Australia & New Zealand Cup races to lower his FIS score. Peter Fill, who will take care of the left thigh muscle injury at the end of January and not yet completely healed, will not start with his speed mates. "I felt the first pain in Garmisch, then I went to the Olympics anyway because it was an event not to be missed but in Norway I decided to stop - explained the South Tyrolean at fisi.org - I made special care in spring and summer and I also skied the Stelvio three times with my team-mates, but I felt that the leg is not at the top yet, so we decided not to risk a trip so long and without even being sure to train in the best way as in Chile the snow is scarce, I prefer to prepare well in Italy and aim for more recovery over the next few weeks.I'm going to undergo further tests in order to solve the problem definitively ".
