Filehner's wishes remain unheard

“Last season we were clearly too big as a team with eleven athletes; far too many trivialities had to be taken into account. That cost time and nerves. And in the end it was one of the reasons why I only managed fourth place at the Olympics.” Roland Filehner denounced a few weeks ago. The 41-year-old even supported his clear position “in a three-page feedback” - but without receiving an answer. As is now clear, the veteran's demands fell on deaf ears. The national team also consists of eleven athletes in the new season (eight men and three women). These include seven South Tyroleans: Filehner, Daniele Bagozza, Edwin Coratti, Aaron March, Marc Hofer, Gabriel Messner and Nadya Ochner. However, it is unlikely that the team will always train as a unit in view of Firiegeller's statements. Elisa Caffont, Lucia Dalmasso, Maurizio Bormolini and Mirko Felicetti complete the squad. Fabian Lantschner and Jasmin Coratti should be recommended for the B national team. Solo fighter Visintin Olympic hero Omar Visintin continues to hold the South Tyrolean flag high for the snowboard crossers. The Algunder forms the so-called elite team together with Lorenzo Sommariva and superstar Michela Moioli. In the A squad, as in the youth teams, you are looking in vain for other local boardercrossers - because Emanuel Perathoner is still injured. There is a question mark behind the South Tyrolean's career continuation, as the Laion native suffered a serious tibial head injury in January 2021 still not fit.
