| Snowboarder Michela Moioli from Bergamo |
Despite being televised on the CBS Sports Network this weekend, getting clear results on the ongoing (Dec thru Mar) 2020-21 FIS Snowboard World Cup is like pulling teeth. Bergamasque Michela Moioli won the Snowboard Cross on Saturday, but they had another final in the same event on Sunday, so it's a bit confusing for the layman. Moioli is currently ranked third in the Snowboard Cross. She is an Olympic Gold Medalist, having won the Snowboard cross in the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. Of course, numerous other top competitors from Valtellina, the Bergamo Alps, and the South Tyrol have been competitive, including fellow Bergamasque Sofia Belingheri (currently ranked 5th in the Snowboard cross), and Sudtirolians Roland Fischnaller (currently ranked 2nd in the Parallel giant slalom and 5th in the Parallel overall PSL/PGS) and Aaron March (currently ranked 3rd in the Parallel overall PSL/PGS).

Apparently this event, which changes locations throughout the ongoing winter season, was to be held in the northern Bergamo Alps. Due to Covid concerns, it was moved to a beautiful resort in the Val Malenco, which is a valley which connects to the north of the central Valtellina. This competition is a really big deal in Europe, and the BergamoNews.it is sure to cover it, especially the Bergamasque competitors. Olympic gold medalist, Bergamasque alpine skiier Sofia Goggia is a big star over there! Believe it or not, the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing is only a year away.

American snowboarder Faye Gulini is doing quite well, but I'm covering that on the other blog.
