A double tile struck Italy, between the male and female groups, on the same snows at Copper Mountain. Matteo Marsaglia risks having to skip the next week's speed opening in Canada, due to a sprained left ankle accused of digging up a pole. "I took a big hit - the words of the winner of the super-G in Beaver Creek 2012 - We are doing so much therapy to try to recover in time for the races". Only in the coming days will it be understood if the Piedmontese of adoption can take part in the trials (from November 27th) of the descent of Lake Louise and the subsequent super-g, or postpone the debut to Beaver Creek, remaining in that case to train a few more days at Copper Mountain. For the same races in Alberta, we remember, the presence of Christof Innerhofer, whose condition improves day after day, is still in doubt. After the first points won in the World Cup, in the giant of Soelden, misfortune has returned to haunt another athlete who is injured, as in the case of Marsaglia, unfortunately he understands: we talk about Roberta Melesi, forced to return early in Italy (it will start on Sunday 24), thus losing the appointments of Killington and Lake Louise, due to a fall that caused the 23-year-old Lombard a head injury, but above all a bad sprain to the left knee with bone contusion. The multi-purpose blue has hit the last door of the training track and ended up against the safety nets: it is feared a stop that could jeopardize even the subsequent races of December, but every evaluation will be made after returning from the visit of the federal medical commission.
