If there is a period in which a positivity could have been very heavy for the fate of the crystal ball, for a specialist in the technical disciplines it is precisely the block of competitions at the turn of Christmas and the new year, with eight tests between giant and slalom in series, from Courchevel to Flachau.
Well, just when it seemed to have started the potentially decisive escape for World Cup number 4, Mikaela Shiffrin was forced to stop due to Covid. On Monday the news of the positivity, goodbye Lienz races and probably also the slalom of 4 January 2022 in Zagreb, even if there is some hope to return already on the hill of Sljeme, at the latest for the two technical tests of the weekend next to Maribor.
The US champion will remain at the top of the CdM rankings after the two days in Austria and cannot do too many calculations in such a situation, but speaking through the press office of the US federation tonight, in his isolation that began yesterday, he will is spoken and how. “I take the situation on a day-to-day basis, but obviously this is a major blow to the possibilities related to the crystal ball.
If we have learned anything this season, however, it is that anything can happen and now I just think about staying focused on improving and getting back to racing as soon as possible. I can't worry too much about the cups and titles, with everything that is happening with Covid ".
