Rivers of ink were spent by
newspaper reporters filling columns with surprise and wonder. A famous Sappada veteran of
corss-country skiing, Eliseo Sartor has brought us to meet these champions together with the
last revelation from Sappada: Enrico Tach, the prince of biathlon, excellent corss-country
skier and a magican when using a rifle.
All these three champions are in perfect shape and have already started to prepare for the
coming season.
Their aim for the future is to participate in the next Olympic Games and if possible to
bring back a medal despite the Coubertins saying.
It is important to take part in the Games, but all the Italian sport-lovers and all of us
in Sappada wish the best for these champions. And to train the champions Sappada offers a
wonderful corss-country route developing at the South of the town for about 15 km passing
by alle the villages from Lerpa to the Cima. Sappada westerly spurs.
A beatiful system that goes from one side tho the other of the river Piave "You find
a little of everything: the sections giving way to competition and selection, afetr all
the World Cup took place right here, but also a pelasant loop suitable to all ages and to
all levels of
skill "starts Sissio Fauner while Pietro Piller Cottrer nods and says "who can
menage on the skis can appreciate a truly interesting environment among the woods"
and Fauner "Obviously if you are not sure of your abilities give yourself an
instructor at least for the first few times". Big trails, great
fun and the satisfaction to cover a little distance elbow to elbow with Fauner and Piller
Cottrer or to admire Enrico Tach shooting at the Biathlon target and getting the
bulleye!
