The blue downhill racer is looking for a difficult recovery after the very serious injury (displaced fracture of the tibia and fibula of the left leg) remedied last November 13 in Copper Mountain

It is not a simple spring for Hanna Schnarf, called to start again after the stop that caused her to lose the entire 2018/2019 season.
The 34-year-old from the Val Pusteria, who had fallen during a training session at Copper Mountain, practically at the beginning of the preparation phase for the North American races, has started to train again by bicycle only since the first days of April, but the return on skis is still quite distant, even if the goal is to get back on track during the summer, trying to find the right sensations. "Only then will I understand my condition better - explained Schnarf to sportnews.bz - There is a lot of work to do, but I am confident".
The hypothesis of withdrawal from competitions is not yet actual, indeed the desire of the blue “tiger†is always the same, but a process of healing will need to run smoothly to be competitive again from the next year, after having stopped in a moment of form really great, thinking of Hanna's competitiveness in the pre-injury season, with 2nd place in the Cortina super-g before the PyeongChang Olympics.
