Turmoil among the Italians! Men's race director Massimo Carca took his athletes to task after their disappointing performance in the World Championship slalom on Sunday.

His nation suffered a real debacle at the end of the World Cup. Gross finished as the best Italian in Saalbach in 20th place. The two South Tyroleans Alex Vinatzer and Tobias Kastlunger were already far behind after the first run and were eliminated in the decision.
"I had endless willpower"
Despite the harsh words from his boss, Vinatzer, who won World Championship bronze in Courchevel in 2023, remained calm. "I had endless willpower. I went into the race really motivated, that wasn't the problem," the ski racer told sportnews.bz. Postscript: "On a day like this, it's important not to let emotions get in the way of your analysis." Nevertheless, the World Championships were disappointing for Italy's men.
