It is a "calculated" emergency, given that such a situation could have been foreseen and the FISI itself was already working on a plan B ... and perhaps C.
What is certain is that the closure of the lifts in Val Senales and Solda, also for the training of the national teams, creates many problems for the various World Cup groups (not to mention young people and the European Cup). Three blue slalomists (Gross, Vinatzer and Razzoli) worked on the "Leo Gurschler" until Friday, the day before the stop, but also the group of gigantists in full force, led by a Luca De Aliprandini who defined excellent conditions and the quality of the training performed.
A real shame to have to stop now, while since the beginning of the week Cervinia has become the reference point for women's groups, after the training carried out by Alberto Ghidoni's jet men. From the Brignone-Bassino-Goggia trio to the multipurpose, fundamental days in the only Italian location that at this moment can guarantee a job, among other things of the highest quality, also for fast disciplines (not surprisingly also chosen by French and Norwegians ).
Monday and Tuesday, before the departure from Zurich with the charter that will take them to Finland, the blue slalomists will also prepare the slalom of Levi right on the Valle d'Aosta snow: Rossetti and Curtoni also trained in Val Senales, where they found their Martina Peterlini also tracked in the last few hours, dissolving the reservation on participation in the specialty opening after the problems accused in her back. Of course, technically speaking, not the ideal approach like the one that many specialists have been able to do by recreating the racing conditions that will be found in Levi, but these days you have to be satisfied.
