Fatal mountain tour: Italy’s winter sports in mourning
Great sadness in Italian winter sports: speed skier Jean Daniel Pession, a member of the national team, died in an accident together with his girlfriend during a mountain tour.
On Saturday, 28-year-old Pession was on a tour to Monte Zerbion in the Aosta Valley with his partner Elisa Arlian (26). At an altitude of around 2700 meters, both fell around 700 meters - all help came too late for them.
"This tragic news has deeply affected Italy's winter sports and speed skiing in particular," said the winter sports federation FISI in a press release.
Took part in the World Championships
Pession had been a member of the Italian national speed skiing team for many years and finished 22nd at the 2022 World Championships in France. He celebrated his greatest success with 15th place in the 2021 Overall World Cup.
