The Nordic combined now also speaks pink, given that in 2020/21 the maximum circuit will also be born also for the girls, albeit with all the unknowns related to Covid-19 and a programming, that of the FIS, which currently therefore provides only five stages, but also the first time at the world championships in Oberstdorf.
The Italian team has been working for a few years on a team of young hopes, who have performed well in the Alpen Cup races last year, in a project led by an expert technician such as Ivo Pertile. "We have been investing in young men and women for about five years - says the Trentino coach - The birth of a World Cup represents an important first step for girls, who have gained experience in the past season as the Youth Olympic Games and the Junior World Championships.
The intention of the FIS is to develop this path in view of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics. In the last two years the growth of the movement has been strong, the start lists have expanded and many nations are investing such as Norway, Japan, Austria and Germany. Even Italy has adapted because it was necessary to keep up ".
The women's group promises to be varied and logically with ample room for improvement. “Gianmoena is a bit of a hen despite being young, because she comes from the world of jumping - explains Pertile - She got out of an injury, for this reason she has room for growth. Dejori has done good things in the Alpen Cup, has good potential. Sieff has already achieved good results in both jumping and combined and has finished second in the Alpen Cup ranking, Lena Prinoth has undergone surgery on her back due to a small growth defect that has forced her to stop in the last two seasons, now she is gradually recovering but had shown great potential.
In team B we have Greta Pinzani and Martina Zanitzer, who are making a path of growth and alongside them will grow very young girls like Camilla Comazzi and Asia Marcato, who are part of a path aimed at involving the largest number of athletes to develop their skills based on their respective capabilities. In the past two years the average level has risen sharply, the watershed p in 2022 when the final decision will be taken whether to promote the women's Nordic combined in the Olympic program starting right from our Olympics, those of 2026 ".
