On
behalf of the Organising Committee of Cortina d'Ampezzo I
have the honour of extending a hearty welcome to the participants
in the tenth Women's Alpine Ski World Cup event held in our
town. A special greeting to all the athletes of the National
Teams, to guests, sponsors, members of the Jury, race officials
and to our friends of the Press, Radio and Television.
Thanks to the collective effort and time put in both by the
Organising Committee and the townsfolk in the past, this ski
event in the Ampezzo valley has become a "classic" of the
Women's circuit.
I wish you all a happy stay in Ampezzo and much success in
your athletic feats.
Enrico
Valle
President of the Organising Committee
