The two-time Austrian champion-winner of the Crystal Ball returned to the races last December after a long stoppage due to the breakage of the front crusader, side collar and curved right knee ligament, had again been forced to raise white flag immediately after the World Cup Of Sankt Moritz for the coming of a problem to the other knee, the left one. Started at the beginning of March at the Rotule tendon, the Salzburg champion started his slow post-operative recovery with ample pool and gym sessions. "It's going to be all in the second program," Veith explained to journalists from the well-known Austrian newspaper, "the operation had to be done and I'm convinced that I can now go back to work as before." The real problem is that it takes a lot of patience and that means it's not It is possible to accurately estimate recovery times. My goal is to return to the skis at the end of October and I think we can do it, but at the moment I do not know when and how I'll be back in the World Cup. " Declarations are not very optimistic, especially if they arrive on the eve of the delicate Olympic season, where former Miss Fenninger will be present at the starting gate with the title of champion in charge of supergigante. Just more dedication to fast disciplines seems to be Anna's real target for next winter, "I want to go back to competing steadily and supergigantly, but to do so I will have to be at the top of the condition. Olympic thinking is a great incentive to continue To work with constancy but I do not want to hasten the times. " In short, Veith expresses prudence in words but we are convinced that by approaching the Pyeongchang 2018 Games, the Austrian champion will pull out his great character and will do everything in order to arrive at the appointment at Five Circles.
