The "bomb" dropped in preview from the Coni number 1 on Sunday evening, during the broadcast "Che tempo che fa", clearly shook the entire white circus and above all the movement of Italian skiing.
The big event of winter 2021 will not be there, at least this is the request that will start today from the FISI offices in via Piranesi towards Switzerland to move the world championships of Cortina thirteen months ahead; it remains to be understood how the International Federation will be able to adapt to the solution that foresees the world championship races in the Dolomite pearl only in March 2022, shortly after the Beijing Olympic Games.
In reality, however, this shift has been underway for some time, as confirmed by the mayor of Cortina d''Ampezzo, Gianpietro Ghedina; the choice is clear, you want to try to play a real post-Covid-19 World Cup, so with the presence of the public that could not be guaranteed at this time for the month of February 2021, even though many of these choices seemed too cautious anyway . "The President of CONI Malagò has announced it, it has been a few weeks that Cortina 2022 is being worked on - the words of the first citizen - We have verified the possibility of moving the Ski World Championships for a year in order to ensure the safety of the athletes and ensure an event with the public; there would be many risks if the pandemic were to resume next autumn.
Cortina deserves and wants to host this international sporting event in the best possible conditions, with all the enthusiasm, work, commitment and satisfaction that the World Ski Championships must have. "
