The announcement came from the person concerned: “The necessary relationship of mutual trust with superiors has failed”
No podium and just 2 Italians reached the finish line of the giant and special slalom. The disappointing results of the men’s technical disciplines at the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympics bring the first consequence: the person in charge, Mauro Pini, has decided to leave the position with immediate effect. “I take responsibility for the disappointing results obtained by Italian athletes in the technical disciplines. After careful reflection, and taking note of the lack of the necessary relationship of mutual trust with superiors, I believe it is correct to take a step back – he declared -. I thank the Fisi for the opportunity received and wish the athletes a future full of sporting satisfactions”.
