Estelle Balet, world snowboard extreme champion, dies by an avalanche on Grand Combin, Switzerland, and not on Mont Blanc as written in "La Repubblica". Sorry for the death of a 21 years old girl, but this reinforces my idea that mountains are not a Luna Park. Her death follows the death of other extreme champions who defy mountain dangers for the sake of sponsors. She was taking a video to be published on YouTube.

Spagna-Italia 1-1;Germania-Italia 4-1. No good for European Championship. Big league teams don't want risking their players in the National team, and this is the result.

Peter Sagan wins the Gand-Wegelwem saddened by the death on one cyclist hit by a motorcycle. Nairo Quintana wins the Catalunya tour and Thibaut Pinot a Criterium in Corse.

Peter Sagan’s run of second places has been a running joke on social media, even for the man himself. But after adding another runner’s up spot to his palmarès on Friday at E3 Harelbeke, he was able to raise his arms in victory for the first time in the world champion’s jersey at Sunday’s Gent-Wevelgem.

Another sad story...

Sono solo follie. Un austriaco si e' ucciso precipitando nel canalone Marinelli sulla parete Est del Monte Rosa, che vedo benissimo da Milano nelle giornate limpide. Probabilmente stava salendo per poi discendere con gli sci. La gente dovrebbe avere piu' rispetto per le montagne, sono piu' forti di noi.

Sci di velocità è uno "sport" organizzato dalla FIS.
http://data.fis-ski.com/?sector_search=SS
Non so quanti incidenti che accade, ma se lo fa probabilmente sono molto gravi, nonostante di ciò che measurments di sicurezza che sono state fatte.

Credo che si fa riferimento a liberare lo sci (arrampicata come bene) quando si è da soli o magari con una coppia in montagna nel tuo post.
Ci sono così tanti di loro che ignorano gli avvertimenti e pensa "Non succede a me".
Come dici tu, le montagne saranno sempre più forti di noi.
