CONI publishes first list of Olympic starters

According to CONI, the contingent will be increased to 121 athletes, at least in part based on the competition results over the next few days. Several South Tyroleans are also shaky candidates - and hope.

In some sports, the nomination deadline expires next weekend; for alpine ski racers, for example, the starters must be named by Sunday, January 28th, 22 p.m. CET.

There are still numerous starting places to be allocated, especially for cross-country skiers, ski jumpers, Nordic combined skiers, freestylers and snowboarders.

Here is the CONI list, sorted by associations and sports:

Winter sports association FISI BIATHLON (10 starters/ 5 of them from South Tyrol ) Men (5/ 2 ): Thomas Bormolini, Thierry Chenal, Lukas hofer , Giuseppe Montello, Dominik Windish Women (5/ 3 ): Nicole Gontier, Alexia Runggaldier, Federica Sanfilippo , Lisa Vittozzi, Dorothea Wierer BOB (5/ 0 from South Tyrol ) Men (5/ 0 ): Simone Bertazzo, Lorenzo Bilotti, Francesco Costa (reserve), Simone Fontana, Mattia Variola

NORDIC COMBINATION (5 of which 1 assigned/ initially 0 from South Tyrol ) Men (1/ ? ): Alessandro Pittin (The contenders for the other four starting places also include several South Tyroleans) FREESTYLE (4 of which 0 assigned/ initially 0 from South Tyrol ) Squad still needs to be defined. – Freestyle skiing includes the five disciplines of ski cross, slopestyle, moguls, jumping and halfpipe for men and women. Italy is likely to only send participants for the first two disciplines, probably South Tyrolean .

SKI JUMPING (6 of which 0 assigned/ initially 0 from South Tyrol ) Squad still needs to be defined. – In ski jumping, two individual men's competitions (large and normal hill), one women's individual competition and men's team jumping are Olympic.
