• Italy’s federation confirmed the 25-year-old died two days after a La Parva training fall in which he misjudged a small jump, left the course, tore through two nets and hit a fence about seven meters off the piste.
• In a statement Friday, FIS expressed deep sorrow and said it will identify top risks with national bodies, organizers, coaches, partners and athletes while promoting a culture that prioritizes safety in all decisions.
• FIS said it is tracking safety technologies with the Athletes Health Unit, including airbags, electronically releasing bindings and helmets designed to withstand multiple impacts.
• Calls for reform have escalated, with Adrien Théaux criticizing course barriers that failed to stop the crash and Felix Neureuther urging higher safety standards specifically for training sessions.
• Teammate Christof Innerhofer described witnessing the aftermath, said he cannot continue training, returned home from Chile and plans to attend Franzoso’s funeral.
