Covid, World Cup already over for the world champion Renè De Silvestro

The day after the triumph in super combined, the Cadorino tested positive for the virus and will miss the slalom and giant races

The day before the triumph, the day after another great misfortune. Paralympic ski world championship already finished for Renè De Silvestro, who tested positive at Covid, after one of the routine tests at the world championship in Lillehammer. Together with the Cadorino, Davide Bendotti also stopped.

Both athletes are completely asymptomatic and were immediately isolated from the rest of the team, whose members tested negative. As per Norwegian regulations, athletes will have to observe a 6-day quarantine period without being able, therefore, to leave their hotel room and participate in the next giant slalom and slalom competitions.

A great bitterness for Renè, who had won the bronze medal in the Supergiant on Saturday and above all the gold medal in the Supercombinata.

Now the goal shifts to the Beijing Olympics in March, where De Silvestro will want to be the protagonist again.
