ROME (Reuters) - The Italian winter sports federation (FISI) will ask to push back the 2021 Alpine skiing World Championships in Cortina d'Ampezzo by a year because of uncertainties linked to the coronavirus, the head of the country's Olympic committee said.
Should the request to stage the event in March, 2022 be approved, the World Championships would take place in the month after the Winter Olympics in China.
