Italian skier’s death prompts early safety debate before the Milan-Cortina Olympic season starts
It’s usually not until December or January and after a series of tumbles, twisted knees, torn ACLs and worse that the debate over safety in World Cup skiing becomes an annual topic.
Not this season.
The death of Italian skier Matteo Franzoso this week following a crash in preseason training in Chile has resurfaced concerns over how to limit risks in the high-speed sport more than a month before the racing even starts.
The debate also comes less than five months before the Milan-Cortina Olympics.
