A large group of Azzurri heading towards the winter season: we start to get serious ...

Just in these hours, the male group of World Cup sprinters is flying towards Ushuaia, to begin the long rally in Tierra del Fuego.
On the Argentine snows, Dominik Paris and his companions will train until September 16, for four full weeks of work that will be fundamental to regain confidence and test lots of material; applies to the winner of the World Cup super-g as well as world champion of the specialty, as well as to highly anticipated men in the immediate return to high levels, and we talk about Emanuele Buzzi and Peter Fill who have already made several days of skiing to recover better after the respective accidents.
In Argentina there are also Matteo Marsaglia and Mattia Casse, who last season showed they can fight again for high-level placements, while he stayed at home and will train on European glaciers, in particular at the Stelvio where he resumed "feeling" the snow right before Ferragosto, a Christof Innerhofer that is already pawing to be (and in great shape ...) in Lake Louise for the first World Cup fast races at the end of November.
The journey towards Ushuaia is also approaching for the Elite women's group, with Sofia Goggia and Federica Brignone, as well as Marta Bassino who has already worked with her companions for ten days at Les Deux Alpes between late July and early August, ready to go next 28 August, closely followed by the multi-purpose group.
The Olympic champion from Bergamo relaxed in the days of Ferrara in "her" Foppolo, giving her fans the memories of when she began skiing in the small station of the Upper Val Brembana, and then she returned to sweat in the gym in Verona (in the photo) for the last week of loading before flying overseas.
REFER TO MOUNT HOTHAM
After the Coronet Peak races, several Italians would have had to take part, in the last Italian sunrise, in the first races of the new Australian New Zealand Cup season (four trials in four days between giant and slalom).
The male and female giants of Mount Hotham, on the Australian snows, have however been canceled due to bad weather conditions, with postponement until tomorrow.
