What does Petra Vlhova do? Back on skis in June to plan the assault on the World Cup

Matteo Baldissarutti, who works alongside Livio Magoni in the staff, explains how the "star" of the Slovak star will be worked on.

The plan is clear, after the 3rd place of this year only 189 points from Federica Brignone. Petra Vlhova and the World Cup, which if all goes well will be all the more the main focus in the 2020/21 private season of the Cortina world championships (pending ratification by the FIS after the Italian request for the one-year shift of the world championship); the class '' 95 pupil of Livio Magoni signed the agreement with his mostly Italian staff until 2022. And already between April and May, Petra worked on the snows of Jasna, clearly without the head coach of Bergamo confined in Italy. The Slovakian site sport.aktuality.sk instead spoke Matteo Baldissarutti, a Friulian technician who has been working alongside Magoni since spring 2019 (with the Italian part completed by the skiman Gigi Parravicini and the trainer Marco Porta), when he joined the group of the champion of Liptovsky Mikulas. The idea is to reschedule the first "real" training sessions on the snow in June, despite the current restriction linked to the Slovakian borders: "The next cup only with European skiers? It seems to me an unrealistic scenario, but it could be useful to reduce the number of races, "said Baldissarutti also referring to one of the possible solutions proposed by the last FIS congress. The only real novelty that has emerged in the last few days is that related to the parallel and the new formula, with a much more selective qualification and a final scoreboard with double heats: "A positive change, the races will certainly be fairer - says Baldissarutti, by the way, for a discipline that among other things has seen Vlhova take home the specialty cup in the 2019/2020 season - I'm not a fan of the parallel, also because the slopes for the parallel giant involve risks and you can lose an entire season for injury, also due to the error of your rival. However, it will be important to train well, also because you will already need to be quick in qualifying. It will be one of the aspects that we will take care of with particular attention in the preparation ".
