Switzerland was also involved - but not ÖSV! Top trainer prefers ...

Mauro Pini, who previously coached Olympic slalom champion Petra Vlhova, has now taken over coaching duties for Italy’s technical men’s team. Reports indicate that both the Austrian Ski Association (ÖSV) and the US team inquired about his services before he finalized his commitment with the Italian team. It seems his rich history with top athletes like Vlhova and other overall World Cup winners contributed to his decision. As Pini embarks on this new journey, the Italian skiing community is optimistic about the potential success it can bring ahead of the Olympic Games.

This decision marks a significant step for both Pini and the Italian skiing federation as they prepare for the upcoming challenges, particularly aiming for medals at the Olympic Games in 2026.
