A weather far from favorable to the Stelvio, in the second week of training for the Italian skiers (and not only) who had the opportunity for this particular gathering, thanks to the agreement between FISI and Umberto Capitani . Tufts and dwarf poles, some giant and slalom gates for the entire women's World Cup group and male sprinters, but slalomigigantists will arrive on Friday and the snowboard cross and skicross teams have also been present on the glacier for a few hours, with cross-country skiers soon protagonists. “I am very happy to be at the Stelvio, being able to take advantage of this opportunity that our President has given us and which I personally appreciate very much - said Christof Innerhofer to fisi.org - and now I intend to make the most of this period. Spring has been very different from that of other years, but I remain confident: I hope that this virus, like all the others in the past, can change and then disappear. I hope so, because we all need a return to normal. " Federica Brignone is also happy with these first ten days on the snow: "The excitement of getting back on skis is always great, but the opportunity to be able to work like this, with a glacier available, is a wonderful opportunity - explained the World Cup winner - We were a bit unlucky with the weather, but we managed to do a great job. I wish I could really celebrate with my fan club and with my country and then go to the beach for a while. My career is still growing, I have reached the goal I have always dreamed of, but I think I still have a lot to give to this sport and therefore I want to continue playing my cards to the fullest ". Upon returning Sofia Goggia, four months after Garmisch's injury: “It was not an easy time, between injury and Covid-19, but now I'm fine. In my opinion, having reserved the Stelvio for the FISI was an excellent thing because it allows us all to find the maximum feeling calmly. What I want for next season is to go back to skiing well and be able to have the best sensations in the race ". And then there's Michela Moioli, the queen of snowboard cross. "It certainly is not enough for me to have won three World Cups, I think I still have a lot to give to this sport, starting from the World Cup and then to the Olympics up to Milan-Cortina 2026. In reality, my preparation has never stopped: now we are doing a good job here at the Stelvio, I want to find myself at the beginning of the next season in the best conditions to be able to pursue important goals ".
