More than three weeks ago she celebrated the best day of her career: Marta Bassino (26). In Méribel/Courchevel, the 26-year-old Italian became world champion in the Super-G. But that success is now far away for her.
On Thursday, after a downhill training in Kvitfjell, the super-technician received bad news: her sister-in-law Sara Fino, a former cross-country skier, died a day after her 30th birthday. She was found dead in her bed. Bassino immediately left to assist her brother Matteo, Fino’s husband. The couple has two children together.
Next blow of fate
The cause of death is still unclear. Apparently Fino had a heart attack. As Italian media report, the emergency doctors tried to resuscitate her. It is unclear if and when Bassino will return to the ski circus.
Already during the World Cup, the Italian team had to deal with a fate when ex-speed star Elena Fanchini succumbed to cancer at the age of 37.
