One of my heroes, suffering like this 

I really, really wish her to recover for the Cortina.

I hope surgeons will do their best.

In cases like this even amputation isnt rare. 

I hope Fede will cope with this like a champ she is.

yeah, very nasty

 

however, surgery is already underway in Milan

 

the doctor (the same who always takes care of our skiers) didn't look too optimist and talked of a very bad situation  

And it's not over.

 

During the surgery, a severe fracture of the knee, specifically the ACL, emerged. In short, a disaster

Not sure what the hold up in the FIS posting it is, but Lee Wen-yi of  has met the Olympic standard (118.95 in slalom). Also Nino Tsiklauri from  easily earns them a quota, I believe it should have been met back in February from the four slalom results, but I am never sure about when the 20% extra for missing results is used.

According to some journalistic rumors in Albania (which have bounced back strongly in Italy), Lara Colturi could return to compete for Italy.

For FIS-Ski, there isn't any rest time if both NOCs reach an agreement. The date limits is the 1st May

🤣🤣🤣 Apparently Ceccarelli only got a small fraction of the money she thought she was being paid.

Otherwise I guess it will be Qatar next year. 🤣🤣🤣

unless there's an agreement between the 2 federations, if she still wants to change the Flag of her club (I refuse to talk of Nationality with such a mercenary ), she has to take a full year break (no competitions at all...and will lose all of her FIS points)

 

if  and  somehow find an agreement, she can start for  from June 1st and keeps all of her FIS points
