Alex Vinatzer prepares for giant slalom in Sölden

Italian skier Alex Vinatzer is preparing for the upcoming giant slalom competition in Sölden. Vinatzer, who is the only Italian athlete in the first group, has adjusted his training regimen to focus more on slalom, shifting from a 50/50 split to 60% slalom and 40% giant slalom.

Other members of the Italian team scheduled for the event include Giovanni Borsotti, Giovanni Franzoni, Filippo Della Vite, Luca De Aliprandini, Tobias Kastlunger, and Simon Talacci. Franzoni noted that while he has worked hard, transitioning between disciplines remains a challenge in the current competitive landscape.
