In Tierra del Fuego, on the snows of Cerro Castor in Ushuaia, winter is truly such and the ideal conditions to begin, after having skipped 2020 almost entirely, the 2021/22 season.
The first FIS races of the new vintage saw the protagonists almost exclusively of the home athletes, with the Argentine national championships that awarded Delfin Van Ditmar in the men's giant, beating Tomas Birkner De Miguel by 6 cents who made up for it by winning the slalom. At the female level, yet another title for Maria Belen Simari Birkner between the tight posts and Carolina Blaquier in the giant.
Start postponed for the South American Cup, which should start on 28-29 August from Chile, with the giants of El Colorado and the slalom of La Parva, but the question of the possibility for the various European national teams to be able to train on the snow is taking hold. argentine before entering the heart of the World Cup.
The problem is known and obviously concerns the limitations related to Covid, in addition to the fact that the government of the country wants to give priority to tourism at the local level after having already lost last season. Italy has not yet given up the possibility of making the speed teams work (for the slalom teams it has already been given up for some time), for the three weeks of September which would be fundamental to put together a good number of km on snow winter, also thinking that this year the conditions are really good. A final decision will be made in this regard in the coming days.
