A returning champion is good for the whole white circus, especially if her name is Anna Veith.
The 30-year-old from Salzburg will put a bib back in the race on Saturday, on the occasion of the second seasonal giant in Killington: the last loose reserves after an excellent training session at Copper Mountain, following the (discounted) waiver in Soelden.
In fact, Anna is back from the umpteenth injury, with the new crash on the right knee crusader, suffered in training on January 12th on the snows of Val di Fassa: after ten and a half months, she is ready to restart from the mother specialty, the one in which he dominated for years, before the most serious stop, in October 2015 in Soelden a few days after the start of a World Cup he had won in the two previous seasons.
"Here in the United States I worked best - explained Veith in an interview with the Kronen Zeitung - You can concentrate 100% on skiing and so I did, dedicating myself to the technique on the giant. For now I focus on this discipline, I have to find the right sensations before thinking about the super-g. Descent? For now it is not planned, I must first improve my shape and safety to go to the limit again ".
The super-g Olympic champion seems to be very determined, despite the ordeal of over 4 years (even if she returns to win in the Cup and touching the sensational encore with five circles in PyeongChang): "Every injury is different, it's always a new challenge. Of course I know I haven't finished my work, I still have a great motivation and that's why I didn't retire, even though my thoughts were last spring.
Sooner or later that moment will come when you realize you have nothing to do, but I still don't feel it. I continue my childhood dream and make the life I love, I could not ask for more ".
Pure love for skiing, despite everything.

Si ritira a soli 24 anni Alice Calaba, tormentata dagli infortuni dopo il bronzo mondiale jr: Lo sci è diventato parte di me
La velocista valdostana ha ufficialmente salutato l'agonismo, lei che era rientrata a livello FIS nell'ultimo inverno, dopo oltre due anni e mezzo ai box, causa i guai alle ginocchia, da quel 2023 che le aveva inizialmente regalato il podio in super-g ai campionati del mondo juniores di St. Anton, dove fu pure 5^ in discesa.
