With Magnini on the short trail and Valmassoi on the long one, the Italy of Germanetto, Massa and Tiberti is now really strong and competitive in every specialty. The Azzurri competing in Innsbruck – Stubai (Austria) from 6 to 10 June will be 43 athletes: 20 women and 23 men, divided into the four competition formats and the two events reserved for the under 20s.
The official communication arrived today after various rumors and some spoilers testifying to how the interest of the media and the public on the world championships has grown after the unification of trail mountain running.
The most awaited news comes precisely from the longer distances with Valmassoi who, despite not being in top condition, convinced herself to get involved after the convincing performance at Transvulcania and Davide Magnini, already contacted by the Fidal technical staff in 2022, who finally has said “yes”. His is an important new entry that also gives substance and quality to the “short trail” team where young talents such as Rota, Pattis and Del Pero are lined up together with the experts Minoggio and Puppi. In the other specialties no surprises. The athletes who have already been pre-selected or who have earned the blue tank top on the field will wear the shirt.
