Press reviews on the Cortina World Cup: “It’s absurd”

“Snow, fog, wind: The 2021 World Ski Championships are not getting going. It is absurd that one race after another has to be canceled. This World Cup seems to be enchanted,” commented the Milanese daily Corriere della Sera in their Wednesday edition.

“False start for the World Cup in Cortina: After heavy snowfall on Sunday and danger of avalanches on Monday, a small but malicious cloud ruined the start. “The races have to be canceled today too,” she wrote Journal of Sport .

“There is a big question mark hanging over the entire World Cup” Corriere dello Sport “After the snow, now there’s also the fog. There is a big question mark hanging over the entire World Cup because strong winds are still expected. Only on Friday could the weather situation ease and make a World Cup easier, which is already complicated enough due to the strict health protocols and absence of the audience,” wrote Corriere dello Sport .

“The snow is winning in Cortina: This World Ski Championships, which did not capitulate to the pandemic, is now being brought to its knees by the vicious weather. You can say it openly: Cortina, the pearl of the Dolomites, has not had any luck in the last few months. Covid-19 wiped out the World Cup finals in March 2020. It took a lot of courage to organize this global event, despite financial difficulties and strict protocols, which is now being ruined by bad weather,” commented the Turin daily The print .

“The World Ski Championships are drowning in snow. Cortina can't calm down. Two days after the opening ceremony, no medals could yet be handed out. “The situation is only expected to improve on Thursday,” said the Roman daily The messenger .
