VAIL (Colorado - United States) - "zero pressure" is the summary of the words of Lindsey reporters. But first things first: the champion of Minnesota has begun to train well in downhill'' s only the beginning of this week, at Copper Mountain. "My run of form in this discipline - he admits - is not that of the supergiant, for example, where they are far ahead. Right now I'm skiing in super-G as a few other times in my career. Freedom In contrast, I still need more time. But luckily there are still two weeks away abundant before the races in Beaver Creek. "
Lindsey hopes of course be able to train on the track "Raptor", brand new, before the Cup races. By regulation,'' a possible training session on the race track may be made no more than five days before the race (which will start from 29th November): "Obviously I'm disappointed and even depressed for not having been able to prove the last spring, as did my companions. From what I was told, it is a very demanding track, technique.'' I can not wait to try it now, I know you are working hard to prepare it and I hope to sciarci first of the above '' arrival of the European teams. obviously I would love to return to the victory already in Beaver Creek. Everyone expects suffered a great result for me, but I feel I have no pressure, honestly.'s not like two years ago, when we competed for the first time in Vail, we women, in super-G. now back from injury, I do not feel as nervous as I was then. "
As for his right knee, Lindsey says that he returned to 100% of its functionality, and that is not doing anything different,'' in training, than it did already "from healthy", "My knee is in place, I would have to remove the guardian, but will not let me.'' The important thing is that it should not wear it in the 2014 Sochi ... ".
Then there was talk of the Games also note here the Russians and'' American'' maybe put a little hands on, "I have already won an Olympic gold medal'', so in this case I feel less pressure. All that will come in more, possibly in Sochi will be like an icing on the cake.'' Given the injury that I had, I think persente already be in the Olympics and try to do my best both as a victory, for me. "
Better to win in Sochi or the World Cup at home in Vail in 2015, then asked? "Well probably the World Cup at home. I think I'm able to do it in 2015 and it would mean a lot to me." From time Lindsey has in mind the World Cup in Colorado in 2015, and certainly after that demonstration will think about what to do yet in his career, although at the time he never spoke of retirement from competition: "I think the injury suffered'' Schladming has me motivated and driven to compete for a long. I feel as though there is still much to do on skis ... ".
