While Goggia and her companions today will not train on the Gran Becca due to weather conditions, the vice world champion downhill is very tough on the Zermatt-Cervinia project: "With the current situation of the glaciers, we are going against all logic on the environment".

The "Speed Opening" continues to be discussed, it could not be otherwise since it is the big news of the 2022/23 World Cup, complicated to manage and to ... play, since only on Saturday we will know if next week the jet men will really go down on the track along the 4 km of the new “Gran Becca” of Zermatt-Cervinia, in view of the men's descents scheduled for 29-30 October.
The women are expected to compete on 5-6 November and in these days, after the colleagues who trained on the Plateau Rosa glacier in the last two weeks, they are working on the Matterhorn even if today, for example, the same the blue team (with Goggia, Curtoni, Pirovano and the Delago sisters) was forced to remain in the pits due to the weather conditions at high altitude, with the fog covering the summit above an altitude of 3800 meters, at the height of the Hump of Rollin where it is the start of the first historic cross-border competitions in the history of the white circus is expected.
Johan Clarey expressed himself very severely about the event hosted jointly by Switzerland and Italy. The transalpine veteran, who at 41 was able to get on the Olympic podium with a sensational silver downhill, spoke to RTS Sport about how he sees the Zermatt-Cervinia project. "Simply, I think this race does not make sense - the thought of the '81 class of Annecy - I am convinced that this event has no future, it is enough to observe the conditions of the glaciers, which get worse every year, and this descent requires enormous resources , from the use of helicopters to crevasses to be "plugged".
All this does not go in the direction that the FIS should want; great efforts are made in favor of the environment in the various locations, I do not think we give a good image of our sport by setting up these races ”.
Clarey also underlined the logistical problems: “It's all very complicated, it takes at least an hour and a half to transfer back to the hotel from Cervinia to the ski lifts. I think they haven't given much thought to athletes in this regard ”.
