South Tyrolean ski talents: You have to remember these names

The women's technical team has been the big problem child in South Tyrol for many years. The times when Denise Karbon, Manuela Mölgg and Nicole Gius achieved great success are over. It is impossible to predict when this will happen again, as there is still a big gap between the South Tyrolean ski aces and the rest of Italy.

However, there are athletes who could fill them. Above all, slalom specialist Vera Tschurtschenthaler, which has often indicated its great potential. Even the one who is two years younger Petra Unterholzner a lot can be expected. Vivien Insam has to fight his way back into the national squad on his own after many injury problems. Want to be behind it Celina Haller (junior national team) and Emmi Frenademez , who belongs to the observation group, become the focus of the trainers. Delago sisters and gas slitter hold the flag high In the speed area, the density of South Tyrolean women is greater: Nicol Delago, Nadia Delago and Verena Gasslitter are in the World Cup group. Teresa Runggaldier was long considered South Tyrol's great hope for the future, but was removed from any squad with a view to the next season. The same applies to her as to Insam. Otherwise, South Tyrol's hopes are resting Elisa Schranzhofer and Nicole Nogler Kostner . Both have already attracted attention in the European Cup.

Among the men, South Tyrolean young hopes have also been hit with exclusion from the squad. There are still promising talents who will soon be able to take part in the concert of the big players: from the more established ones Florian Schieder , about the vice-junior world champion in giant slalom, Tobias Kastlunger, right up to the very young Manuel Ploner everything is there. Maximilian Ranzi , Jonas Bacher , Francesco Gatto and Max Perathoner are the names of the other hopefuls.

Many names, many faces: Nobody can say who will actually make it to the World Cup. Injuries have ended many careers early. But South Tyrol is and remains a ski location – that much is clear.
