After Marco Odermatt (out until late January / early February), Mauro Caviezel (who should return for Wengen) and Beat Feuz, who got two podiums in Bormio despite a fracture in his left hand, Switzerland loses another sprinter for at least a few week.
Nils Mani, in fact, came out battered by the fall remedied in the descent bis of Bormio, last Saturday on the Stelvio; for the 27 year old Swiss it is a very complicated injury, since the partial laceration of the muscle of the right gluteus does not require an operation, but requires a rehabilitation process of several weeks, with recovery times that are not certain since "these muscle injuries present healing processes that depend on the individual and it is therefore too early to indicate specific dates ", said the Swiss-Ski medical director, Walter O. Frey.
Mani is likely to find himself skipping the great classics, namely Wengen, Kitzbuehel and Garmisch-Partenkirchen, after having conquered only two small points so far in the season, with 29th place in the Beaver Creek downhill.

Cancellati dalla FISI, il silenzio del mondo dello sci ci ha ucciso due volte: Olga e Marcello Franzoso non si nascondono
Il collega Matteo Macor de La Repubblica ha intervistato i genitori di Matteo Franzoso, scomparso esattamente un anno fa dopo 48 ore di agonia in seguito all'incidente di La Parva. Durissime le loro parole nei confronti della Federazione e in generale dell'ambiente, solo la Guardia di Finanza ci è stata vicina. Oggi il corpo militare del quale faceva parte il velocista ligure gli ha intitolato una sala del museo a Predazzo.
