Giuseppe Romele was a fairly unknown factor going into the 2020-21 World Cup in Para Nordic skiing. The Italian sit skier was 12th in the cross-country ranking last season, but managed to start this season with a victory, his career’s first, over the biggest star in his class.
“I am happy about the competition,” Romele said. “But I will not celebrate yet. After the last race, I will celebrate.”
The World Cup in Planica, Slovenia opened with the cross-country short distance on Wednesday (3 March) and sprint races on Thursday, the day that marked one year to go to the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games.
