Confusion about training ban: So what now?

“Long live sport, it keeps us healthy and makes us tough,” Reinhard Fendrich already knew in 1982 when the Austropop icon released his legendary song. However, the credo is now different - because sport is as good as dead in the Corona crisis. Confusion after new decree Suspended championships, closed swimming pools and fitness studios. These are difficult times for all athletes in South Tyrol. While training was at least possible so far, this will no longer be allowed since Monday. At least that's what State Governor Arno Kompatscher wrote on his Facebook page. However, this sentence cannot be read with this clarity in the state government's latest decree (No. 49). When it comes to sport, South Tyrol adheres to the state's regulations. The internet post from Governor Arno Kompatscher.

So what now, numerous club officials asked themselves on Monday. The amateur football association LND also didn't know what to do and called on the government in Rome in an open letter (the South Tyrolean regional committee also spread the demand) to finally ensure clarity. Finally: “With the exception of competitions of national and international interest and the corresponding training, the activities of organized associations and clubs will also be suspended.”

In ice hockey, the association itself has made clear statements. All youth activities have been stopped across the country and only the senior teams are now training. Then in the evening: From the under 13s onwards, training is allowed again - who is supposed to keep track of that? “It gives us strength, it gives us momentum, it is popular with old and young.” Reinhard Fendrich about sport As far as South Tyrolean football clubs are concerned, many clubs have taken matters into their own hands. The internet is full of club announcements stating that all activities have been suspended. When and how things will continue in amateur and popular sports is just as uncertain as the return of spectators in professional sports. And here too, Fendrich is probably not entirely wrong when he sings: “Happiness in the stands, that’s the beauty of sport.”
