Last winter Ana, after many difficult years when even by accident, & egrave; finally it arrived to the levels that many thought to vie with, coming second in Flachau and Maribor both times behind the German Viktoria Rebensburg, and finishing seventh in the final standings of the giant cup, his first time among the top ten. Now it seems very determined for the upcoming season, which will begin & agrave; exactly three weeks to S & ouml; Sölden.
& Ldquo; In training I always give the maximum - says Ana -. My chance & agrave; I do not know them, but for the first time I find myself in the situation of being able to attack the upper tiers of the rankings. I only know that the two second places last January not enough for me, I want more & ugrave ;. I want to go to bed at night thinking that what I did in training not & egrave; enough and that I need to do even more & ugrave ;. My pi & ugrave; challenge & egrave; stability & agrave; skiing in all conditions and on any terrain and this challenge I'm winning. Quest & rsquo; summer I prepared in very different conditions from each other, only I'm now practicing in conditions very similar to those that we will find S & ouml; Sölden & rdquo ;.
Inevitably speak of his noble compatriot Tina Maze:! A coincidence that I have made good results in his gap year? I do not think she was training on his own gi & agrave; For some years, I have gained after the last accident and I did the step forward that was needed. Tina and I have been together much of our career and we never had problems, of course, his departure from the race has inevitably us away. As for her private team, he has done well to create it: he had the chance & agrave; to do well in all specialties & agrave; and the Slovenian system is not & egrave; flexible enough to support a versatile skier & rdquo ;.
