With surprises: The 2022/23 men's ski team

34 athletes are represented in Italy's men's national ski team, led by Massimo Carca. You could also say that it's 33 + 1, because Dominik Paris is essentially given a private team.

The downhill skier from the Ultental is the flagship of the Azzurri. No other FISI athlete embodies world class as much as the 33-year-old. After all, Paris is the only one from the Azzurri camp to win last winter. To ensure that the long-awaited downhill crystal ball comes to fruition, Paris will in future be provided with its own support team. The trainers Alberto Ghidoni and Michael Gufler take care of the sporting aspects, plus service man Sepp Zanon and physiotherapist Luis Kuppelwieser. Prast and Schieder get a chance - Tonetti not in the squad There are three South Tyroleans in the “normal” World Cup speed team. In addition to the established veteran Christof Innerhofer, Alexander Prast and Florian Schieder will also be put to the test. Both are on their way back to the World Cup after “total damage” to their knee. They are trained, among others, by Patrick Staudacher, who is part of the speed team's World Cup coaching team.

While Simon Maurberger and Alex Vinatzer appear in the national team's slalom squad, as expected, Riccardo Tonetti did not get a place. The soon to be 33-year-old from Bolzano, the youngest called the 2026 Olympic Games a big goal does not appear in the squad. Simone Del Dio should ensure more podium places for the slalom men. He is the new head coach and recently worked very successfully in France (including with Clement Noel). Fill promoted to the World Cup coaching team When it comes to giant slalom, the Azzurri rely on youth - probably due to a lack of alternatives. Luca De Aliprandini from Nonsberg is the only top rider in the giant slalom World Cup team. With 21-year-old Giovanni Franzoni (he took overall victory in the European Cup last year and has a fixed starting place) there is a promising talent who first has to prove himself in the World Cup. With Filippo Della Vite, who is the same age, another young driver has the chance to be part of the World Cup squad. Alex Hofer from Castelrotto will also join the team in October. He is supported by Peter Fill, who was promoted from the European Cup to the World Cup giant slalom coaching team.
