The case of the death of the skier Matilde Lorenzi she “still has many dark sides, talking about it again won’t bring her back to us but perhaps it will prevent something like this from happening to another Matilde”. As Paolo De Chiesaformer skier, now television commentator, on the accident on the Grawand slope in Val Senales, in which the young Italian athlete lost her life on 28 October.
De Chiesa’s doubts in a video on Instagram
In a video published on Instagram, De Chiesa accuses: “This tragedy was liquidated quickly, with a haste that to define as suspicious is an understatement. Moreover, under a curtain that I would define as silenced by silences and disturbing half-truths.” The former Valanga Azzurra skier emphasized the absence of nets at the site of the accident, nets which are instead present, in double rows, on the track below, where the World Cup athletes train: “Matilda it was close to the edge of the runway. There, with the grooming of the snowcats, a step is formed which was a sort of springboard for her. It took a tremendous flight, landing on ground that must have been as hard as concrete.” Just one gleaning is enough to derail and risk a very, very dangerous fall. Why, then, do coaches track that way, close to the edge, near a cliff? His answer: “Because they are forced by a system that wants to bring the highest possible number of skiers to the glacier”.
De Chiesa: “Why wasn’t an autopsy ordered?”
“The coaches and the medical commission – says De Chiesa – supported that Matilda caused these very serious injuries by falling face-first onto the ice. But there is no autopsy that can confirm or refute this hypothesis. I believe that you get so hurt when you end up against an obstacle, suffering a very violent impact, like the one suffered by Matilde, who was thrown at least two or three meters off the track.”
