Italy announces teams and coaches for 2021/22 season

The president of the Italian Ski Federation, Flavio Roda, formalized the composition of the Nordic Combined teams for the 2021/22 season.

Federico Rigoni announced his resignation as technical director of Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined in early April. The technician of the Carabinieri Sports Center, who has been in charge of the sector for three seasons, informed president Roda of his intention to retire for personal reasons.
