Plancker new head coach for women

Ravetto will therefore look after the men in the coming season, as well-informed circles report. Ravetto now has until Monday to think about and accept this offer. The South Tyrolean Raimund Plancker, however, should take over the women's team.

The committee of the national winter sports association decided on Thursday as part of the Italian championships in the Aosta Valley, as the association announced on Thursday on its website and via press release.

“It will be a difficult task in which I would like to prepare the athletes in the medium term for the major events of the 2013 World Cup in Schladming and the Winter Olympics in Sochi,” said Plancker exclusively in an initial statement SportNews.bz .

The primary goal of Plancker's work is to improve fitness. “When it comes to women, the absolute world leaders are leagues ahead of the other athletes in the fitness area. Here it is important for us to apply the lever and work, because this is the only way to achieve top results. We will work hard and hope that luck will be on our side,” said Plancker.

Raimund Plancker was responsible for the speed group of the women's squad last season. Until last year, the man from Val Gardena led the men's European Cup group. In the past, Plancker also worked as a national coach and coach of SC Gröden.

These are the responsible coaches for the individual disciplines of the Italian Winter Sports Federation (FISI) for the 2011/12 season: Alpine skiing: Claudio Ravetto (men) and Raimund Plancker (women) Cross-country skiing: Silvio Fauner Ski jumping and Nordic combined: Ivo Pertile Bob: Antonio Tartaglia Skeleton: Omar Sacco Biathlon: Fabrizio Curtaz Artificial and natural track tobogganing: Karl Damian Snowboard and freestyle: Cesare Pisono Grass skiing: Armando Calvetti Speed skiing: Alberto Monticone Ski mountaineering: Oscar Angeloni
