"I am very satisfied with my condition - says the 29-year-old from Salzburg, twice winner of the absolute crystal ball, an Olympic gold and three world championships -. Of course, the workloads must be dosed according to the effort that the patellar tendons have to make, which is why during athletic training I occasionally put on the boots. The left knee is fine, the right knee occasionally pinches but it's normal considering the injury I suffered ". Marcel Hirscher has repeatedly suggested the possibility of a retreat, but Anna never: "The thought of abandoning the competitive spirit was natural both after injuries and during all rehabilitations, even often, but not in recent months. As mental fatigue I feel better now that after winning the overall World Cup because then I was completely exhausted, now instead I am constantly under pressure and I am full of energy. And if I need it, I'll take three or four days off. " So the family projects with husband Manuel will have to wait: "The desire to have children is there, I have always emphasized, but I do not have to compete with mom because when I have one I want to devote myself entirely to my child- I know that I am living the life I love. I can not say when I can become a mother but certainly not before four years ".
The speech then goes to the Olympics and the hundredth of a second with which Anna was mocked by the Czech Ester Ledecká, surprisingly beautiful gold, but the Austrian adds many interesting things: "The thought of why I was behind a penny came out of course . But then I always pushed myself to think, 'Why are you asking Anna about it?' Only a year ago I did not know if I could have competed again, so I would have taken a silver with a kiss of my hand. What really irritates me about the Olympics is that all the projects of the Games in Austria are blurred, first the candidacy of the Tyrol last year and now that of Styria (respectively Innsbruck and Graz, ed). I think it's a pity. Not everyone is interested in sport, no doubt. But one should understand what such an event would mean for one of our Länder. They are not hoteliers but all the other shopkeepers would benefit from it. But apparently our policy is not able to understand it is totally incomprehensible to me ". Finally, a mention of the marriage of her friend Lara Gut with Udinese Valon Behrami last week and the fact that the Ticinese will keep his last name, unlike the former Miss Fenninger: "I have not been to Lara's wedding but I he sent a message shortly before. I can understand them but I want to make my whole family name like me and vice versa. And if I were now at the starting gate, it's not said that Miss Fenninger is faster than Mrs. Veith or vice versa. "
