Her personal coach, Mike Day, had already called her "capable already of training at a high level", despite the few days of skiing in recent months.
While Petra Vlhova has been training for weeks, with a series of training camps at the Stelvio which see the Slovakian engaged also in these days, and the blue ones have dedicated themselves to sessions on the snow in June, and then concentrate on the glacier in August , now Mikaela Shiffrin also has the opportunity to speed up operations.
The difficulties of being able to train for North American skiers have been evident in recent weeks (the situation of the Canadians is much worse than the Americans), but the USA Team has found a couple of very important solutions, although already knowing that it has to give up, almost certainly , to the trip to Argentina. Shiffrin herself had put her skis back on, for the first time almost 3 months after Are, in the first half of June at Copper Mountain; just in these hours, the champion of Colorado has started a second session in Mount Hood, the training base also for the men's national team and for the young people of the European Cup.
Mikaela joined teammates, especially sprinters Breezy Johnson and Laurenne Ross, in the Oregon resort; after another month full of athletic training at home, in her Edwards, the winner of three crystal balls is entering the heart of the approach to the next winter season.
