One year after dad Jeff's death. Mikaela Shiffrin is back to speak today, but in the virtual conference reported by the Associated Press, the issues are exclusively related to the next goal of the American champion who, in fact, giving up the fight for the overall cup classification, right from the championships of the world of Cortina aims to obtain the maximum.
Disputing four races, as confirmed by the five-time world champion, who will begin her adventure in the world championship since the alpine combined on Monday 8, passing through the super-g (from world champion in office) the following day, up to the giant of the February 18, where he will go in search of the shaded gold in Sankt Moritz (he was second behind Worley) and Are (bronze), and obviously at the slalom on Saturday 20, with the possibility of a legendary consecutive five. "Yes, the speed training sessions were good, I felt good and above all having fun - said Mikaela, who hasn't competed in super-g since January 26, 2020, when she won in Bansko ahead of Bassino - I'll try to be fast within the limits of the possible, but I think I can get good results.
At the same time, I have no guarantees that it will be good enough to defend the title, I have to be realistic as I have been on long skis for three days in the last year ”.
Shiffrin, who in Cortina won in super-g on January 20, 2019 (without even participating in the tests and the downhill race the previous days), will then think about the technical disciplines after the initial two days that will immediately direct his World Championship, but he will not take part in the individual parallel or even in the team event. In any case, it will be his richest program in a review with medals up for grabs: if he gets his richest loot, we will find out in just over two weeks.
