Katharina Liensberger is also positive at Covid: no Courchevel and Lienz too at high risk

The Austrian, who would have left in 7 o'clock due to the absences of Gut-Behrami and Robinson, says goodbye to the giants of tomorrow and Wednesday. "Difficult to understand and accept".

Could Covid affect an entire World Cup season? Well yes and paradoxically, but not too much since this year almost all the races (at least so far) are in the presence of the public and with the mountain resorts also open to winter tourism, this season is happening more than in the first post outbreak. of the pandemic. After the announcements of Lara Gut-Behrami and Alice Robinson, here comes the one of the positivity of Katharina Liensberger, also forced to give up the two giants of Courchevel, Tuesday and Wednesday in Haute-Savoie; for the 24-year-old bi world champion, a fatal anti-Covid test last Friday, as was the positive result of the head of the women's sector of Austria, Christian Mitter. “It's hard to understand and accept, but that's just the way it is”, the bitter comment of Vorarlberg's talent. The timing is also very short to be able to participate in the home stage of 28 and 29 December in Lienz (giant and slalom), where among other things Liensberger got on the podium in the last giant disputed on the “Schlossberg”, two years old. The next few days will be decisive to understand if at least for that two days there will be. For tomorrow's giant in Courchevel, he enters the top 7 of the WCSL Meta Hrovat. Covid permitting.
