A very serious accident, Italian Army sports group skier Matilde Lorenzi, 20 years old, was injured on the slopes of Val Senales, in Alto Adige, during training.
The promising young Italian skier, who plays in the third national team, according to initial reconstruction, was going down the Gravand G1 slope when his skis split apart and the skier lost contact with the snow cover, hitting his face violently on the frozen ground. . She was immediately rescued, and in shock, she was transported by helicopter to the ‘San Maurizio’ hospital in Bolzano, where health checks are underway.
Now we just have to wait for good news. Coaches Angelo Weis and Damiano Scolari, obviously surprised, also immediately canceled training to closely monitor the criticality of the situation. Matilde, the last Italian Super-G champion, should have been with the slalom giants in Sweden with the coach Gianluca Grigoletto, to do the giant slalom, but the (warm) snow conditions only allowed slalom sessions.
For that reason it was decided to focus again on speed and catching up with the downhill skiers in Val Senales, even if its range of activity should be limited above all to Super-G, a specialty when Matilde became the champion of Italy in the final round in Sarrentino, ahead of Laura Pirovano and Nicol Delago. Also, last year she was sixth in the downhill and eighth in the Super-G at the Junior World Championships in Chatel, France. He has eleven places in Super-G in St. Moritz in December 2023 as his best placement in the European Cup.
