On Monday evening, the National Olympic Committee CONI announced the roster for the Winter Olympics. But this isn't quite complete yet; the names of the alpine ski racers are still missing. The 7 starting places for the men's skiers will be announced on Tuesday after the night slalom in Schladming. A total of 118 Azzurri are traveling to Beijing, 46 women and 72 men. 86 athletes (51 men and 35 women) belong to the Italian winter sports association FISI, 32 to the Italian ice sports association (21 men, 11 women). 25 South Tyroleans are already in the squad, plus at least 3 - or even 4 - ski men.
