The decision on whether or not to dispute the World Cup finals in Cortina d''Ampezzo is getting closer as the meeting that will lead to the cancellation or confirmation of the final act of the season remains confirmed for Friday. If the government goes towards the closure of the Italian sport for the next 30 days, but only in terms of open-door events, there is hope of competing in the finals in the Venetian resort with all the necessary restrictive measures, even if the definition of "closed doors" must then be defined in detail. If the FIS regulation does not provide for date shifts for the finals (it is not even possible to retrieve the race within the finals), but not even a change of location for them, the same Are came forward through the Swedish media, which from 12 to 14 March it will host the next three races of the Women's World Cup, with a sort of candidacy to replace Cortina. As reported by skiweltcup.tv, the head of the Alpine sector of the Swedish home, Tommy Eliasson, spoke of "no request received from the FIS in this regard, but we believe that with the right conditions at an economic level the finals can be organized. We spoke to Kvitfjell (who will send downhill and male super-Gs on the coming weekend) and they could host the fast races, we the technical ones, with the organization that would be much simpler for all the teams and the FIS itself ".
