Ilka Stuhec feels ready to go back to where he left off, that is the magical day of Are who has seen her sign a second world champion, two years after Sankt Moritz. That was the last race in which the Slovenian star crossed the finish line, given that less than two weeks later he injured his left knee in the descent of Crans-Montana, reporting an injury to the posterior cruciate which, however, was remedied avoiding the operation, with a lot of physiotherapy and the use of a special support to improve recovery.
The 29-year-old from Maribor had already returned to skiing in late August, but she confessed to having already felt the best feelings in the last European snow rally, in the second half of October in Saas-Fee; Ilka arrived a few days ago at Copper Mountain to carry out the most important weeks of work ahead of its speed debut, scheduled from 6 to 8 December in the two descents and in the super-g in Canada, after missing the giant Soelden.
"These are the crazy days of speed ... in the paradise of descent", Stuhec said through the social media, after speaking in the days before Maribor with the Slovenian press, going into the details of the various news that concern her, in particular for regarding his private team.
The new head coach who has been following her since the summer is the Swiss Stefan Abplanalp, a technician of proven experience who said he was "surprised at how strong Ilka was already hardly back on the snow, after such a long stop"; by her side there is always mother Darja, with so much confidence to be able to fight for the crystal balls up for grabs between downhill and super-g, thanks also to some tricks in terms of materials.
"We worked a lot on the technique - explained the Slovenian champion - also doing many giant training sessions. I am convinced that I can resume at a very high level, starting with Lake Louise â€.
