Disappointed France, Switzerland and Slovenia, all of which are in the top ten, thus got rid of lap after lap under the regulation of this new format.

Amaro is fourth for Italy, competing with the pair of Federico Pellegrino and Nicole Monsorno. The duo Azzurri finished ‘7’ off the podium, but the performance is still very encouraging, both for the first time they have competed like this, and for the level expressed by Nicole Monsorno, who may in the future become a reference point. For sprint races in Italian skiing.

And so ends the 2021/2022 Cross-Country Ski World Cup, which has unfortunately been marred by the many canceled races and by additional sporting reasons (Covid, Russia-Ukrainian conflict) that have dominated most of the season. The hope is that the FIS can improve some points in the calendar and regulations, so that the discipline does not lose its credibility in the winter sports jigsaw.
