"I'm very happy to have done this," Anna said. "I do not have knee pain and I can gradually increase the load in dry and snow workouts for the first time. I will continue my recovery in small steps and without any pressure I do not have to prove anything to anyone. The Olympic Games are a huge motivation because after winning the gold medal in SuperG at Sochi 2014 I knew how it feels when a big dream come true. "
Obviously, the 28-year-old from Salzburg does not give a precise date for his return to races, although of course the hope is to be on track in the fast races of Lake Louise, two downhills and a SuperG from December 1st to 3rd. Let's remember that in February Anna was operated on the rolling knee tendon of the left knee, in October 2015 the right knee was destroyed by completely jumping off the season that was about to start. In January he returned to the podium finishing third in the superG of Cortina d'Ampezzo. Nine days ago he returned to the skis starting his path to Pyeongchang 2018 where he will have to defend his gold in superG.
