BECAUSE #WECAREABOUT

14 days, 13 World Championship titles, 71 nations, 600 athletes, 700 volunteers, 550 media professionals: from 7-21 February 2021, Cortina has hosted the most important international winter sport event held during the Covid-19 pandemic, the Cortina 2021 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships.

A massive challenge that has become a symbol of hope, an image of the values of sport, and a patrimony for the territory that has made Italy and the international world of skiing, proud.

Thank you!

Despite the difficulties that marked the preparation phase, above all the Covid-19 pandemic, which dictated a closed-door event and an organisation of spaces and people never seen before – The World Championships succeeded in delivering optimal management of athletes (600), teams (from 70 countries), volunteers (approximately 700), technicians, press, and guests, in order to guarantee everyone’s health and safety. A success – unanimously recognised also by the international press – made possible by the synergy between all the stakeholders, both public and private (in particular FISI, the Italian Government, the Veneto Region, the Province of Belluno, the local administration, partners and sponsors) under the direction of Fondazione Cortina 2021.

Amazing skiing from Sebastian [Foss-Solevaag, NOR] in the second run. We’ve been training so much together in the years that we’ve been skiing World Cups so it’s really cool to see him taking the step and now winning his second race [after team parallel gold on Wednesday] and first individual medal so that’s really cool and, yes, super happy with the day.
