The Italian winter sports federation will ask to push back the 2021 Alpine skiing World Championships in Cortina d'Ampezzo by a year because of uncertainties linked to the coronavirus, the head of the country's Olympic committee said.
Should the request to stage the event in March, 2022 be approved, the World Championships would take place in the month after the Winter Olympics in China."We've been working on it for years... but tomorrow Flavio Roda will bring to the board the request to move the World Championships from February 2021 to March 2022," CONI President Giovanni Malago said in an interview on state broadcaster RAI late on Sunday.
Gianpietro Ghedina, mayor of the ski resort of Cortina in northern Italy, said on Facebook that the decision had been taken in order to ensure the security of athletes and all the people attending the public event.
