Last May 25, a few hours after the announcement of CONI's number 1, Giovanni Malagò, spoke of the risks that would have taken place without moving to 2022 and the desire to have an event in the best possible conditions. Now that the world championships in Cortina 2021 have been officially confirmed for next February, the mayor of the pearl of the Dolomites, Gianpietro Ghedina confirms that the organization will be ready in any case, given that the pandemic situation is evolving and we will have to manage a situation that is anything but simple. "Cortina d''Ampezzo is ready to host the ski world championships in 2021 - the words of the first citizen - In line with what the Foundation 2021 said, we take note of the decision of the FIS. The International Federation strongly wanted to keep the date from 8 to 21 February 2021. Our request for postponement of the races to 2022 was motivated exclusively by Covid-19 and the possible scenarios that the pandemic may present next year. Cortina has great skills in organizing events and will be ready to face the possible different scenarios that could arise ".
