Lukas Hofer: "I changed my philosophy shooting. Sparer slower to be more precise"

On the day of Tuesday & Igrave; 6 October the site dell''Ibu published un''intervista Lukas Hofer. We have translated more steps & ugrave; important, which show how the 'top athlete of the Italian men's movement has made some significant changes ahead dell''inverno.

What were your feelings when you walked the snow for the first time in quest''autunno? "& Egrave, was an incredible feeling to go back in the snow, & egrave; changed compared to other years. For & ograve; & egrave; hard to work up here & ugrave; why & eacute; the snow & egrave; very clean at this time. C '' IS a bit '' of new snow last week, but now it is becoming windy and pi & ugrave; hot. Today the wind exceeded 30km times and with a temperature of - 7 & deg; C seems to do much more & ugrave; cold. & Egrave, was hard work, we are doing many loads here. However, even in these conditions so & Igrave; difficult & egrave; super to be back on the snow. & Egrave; almost time to put away the roller skis " . The 'Last year you were fighting a battle with your rifle. Have you had trouble hitting the targets consistently. After the 'summer who won the battle? Do you or your rifle? "I have won! We made some small changes to the rifle and the chest. Nothing extravagant. Now my shooting goes well, I'm hitting the targets." What & egrave; your philosophy? Are you working on speed & agrave; or precision? "In truth & agrave; I changed my style of shooting. Now when I arrive at the shooting range I focus on single target, it makes no difference whether the right, left or center. Simply I focus on it and hit it without a predetermined path. The speed & agrave; not & egrave; important. We & ograve; counts & egrave; hit them. " Perhaps because & eacute; the success of Martin Fourcade came because of its accuracy? & nbsp; "S & Igrave ;, because & eacute; there are maybe 20 or 30 athletes all close, so it IS important to shoot well. Martin did & egrave; never pi & ugrave; fast at the shooting range, but recovers on track and win. I think things have changed. & Egrave ; become more & ugrave; important shoot well that shoot fast ".Quanto long you stay in Ramsau and what & egrave; the focus? "We arrived on September 27 and we will leave on October 16th (for the truth & agrave; the site Fisi wrote that the gathering ends' 8, ed.) We are skiing so much on the glacier, now it IS important to train in this way for about 2 hours a day. In the afternoon we work at the shooting range. I think that September and October are the months most & ugrave; dell''anno important, we're focusing exclusively sull''allenamento and we are preparing for the next season. The next Rossignol week I wear & agrave; new ski for the final tests. Not them user & ograve; much because & eacute; there are many stones in the snow at this time. I will not ruin them before the season " How do you consider your form and how you think it went the preparation so far? "I feel very good. I had some problems at the Italian championships of Forni Avoltri, I felt tired. For & ograve; the week after, when we had the chance to race against Germans in Ruhpolding, I was flying. & Egrave; easy to keep Schempp, Peiffer and Birnbacher. & Egrave; was a good test after a long Estata, very important for my confidence.
