Embarrassing mishap causes a stir in Norway's ski team

After the opening race in Sölden at the end of October, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde tested positive for Corona. The overall World Cup winner from last season is now in top shape again and has already competed in the parallel event in Lech Zürs, for example. The Norwegian actually wanted to attack the double giant slalom in Santa Caterina on Saturday and Sunday, but due to a corona breakdown in the association, he was threatened with a ban on starting for a long time. What happened? So far, in the World Cup races, a medical certificate from Kilde - that he was already infected with Corona - was sufficient to receive accreditation and thus a start permit. But in Lombardy there are different requirements, so all athletes, regardless of whether they have already had Corona or not, must submit a negative test. “We didn’t notice it in time,” explains Claus Ryste, the Norwegian team manager, to Norwegian Radio NRK . “Something like this shouldn’t happen.” Aleksander Aamodt Kilde While his colleagues visited the slopes on Friday, the overall World Cup winner was stuck in his hotel room. Meanwhile, the Norwegian association has tried everything to get approval for its exceptional athlete. According to the NRK, the all-clear came in the evening: Kilde received approval and was allowed to start. “We have to learn from this,” says the ski star, “something like that shouldn’t happen.” In any case, it’s clear that the Norwegian will miss Friday’s piste training and will therefore be thrown into the deep end, so to speak. “All of a sudden you’re on race day and you don’t have the information you need,” he said. The first round of the giant slalom takes place on Saturday at 10.30:XNUMX a.m .
