A little update on our friend and inspiration Mauro Sormani --

After winning at the Central Alps Italian Regional Championship in
Piani Di Bobbio on February 3, 2008, Mauro qualified a place at the
cross-country ski Masters World Championships (MWC) to be held Feb 28 -
March 6, 2008 in Idaho, USA!!. The races will be held near McCall, ID
roughly at the same latitude as Bozeman, north of Boise. Mauro will be
part of a 31-member Italian delegation, joining the hundreds of
Americans and large numbers of Russians and Norwegians.

If you are in the Boise area, go cheer him on! He will be doing the 30-
km classic (Men 01-06 category) on March 1; the 10-km classic on March
3; the 4x5-km mixed relay on March 5; and the 45-km classic on March
6.

Go Mauro!
