Winter sports association presents state squads

For almost all local winter sports enthusiasts, the state squad is an important stop on the way to a possible career in top-class sport. The state association currently has eight different state squads in the disciplines of alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, biathlon, ski jumping and Nordic combined, natural track tobogganing, artificial track tobogganing, snowboarding and Freestyle. In the coming season, a total of 87 young athletes (53 boys and 34 girls) will be supported in the various teams. Alpine skiing athletes traditionally make up the lion's share.

The numbers prove that South Tyrolean winter sports have nothing to worry about when it comes to young talent. All that remains is to wish the many young hopefuls an injury-free and successful 2013/14 season.
