One of their teammates - a skier who is alsopart of the Carbinierri, died very recently. Piller Cottrer talked about it at the press conference - apparently the young man was 24, and a "great skier from a great skiing family."

Has it been put out there whom the black ribbons the Italians were wearing, were for? Piller Cottrer showed it clearly before the camera's right after crossing the finish.
