Sad news from the Italian Ski Association. The 20-year-old ski racer Matilde Lorenzi succumbed to her serious injuries after a fall on Monday on the Senales Glacier in South Tyrol.
Italy’s young riders were training on the Senales Glacier in South Tyrol on Monday. Lorenzi had a serious fall on the Grawand piste. The top talent hit the pimple-hard piste with full force. After initial care from the coaching team present, Lorenzi was flown by helicopter to the hospital in Bolzano.
From there came the sad news on Tuesday morning that Lorenzi didn’t make it and succumbed to her serious injuries. The teenager was considered one of the greatest talents in the Italian Ski Association and had won the Italian championship title in giant slalom last year when he was just 18 years old. She also won the national title in this discipline among juniors. In January 2023 she also celebrated a victory in an FIS giant slalom. She finished in the top 30 ten times in European Cup races. Her best result was an 11th place at the Super-G in St. Moritz GR in December 2023.
