"During the past winter I was 'hibernation' and turned in on myself as a woodchuck, time to treat myself and build myself. And as marmots on sunny days I resurface the tip of my nose after eight months. Explanations:
I no longer given my news and I apologize.
I had my head, my right knee injury of September 14, 2013 during training in Chile was difficult to recover, both physically and mentally. Because of the damage and pain rehabilitation is started late so as the return to Sports that I wanted more fast. But also because ski everything was going well and I felt good for the upcoming winter''.
Even though I knew from experience that I was going to live, I did not expect the reality of a winter without skis: having to follow the track of the World Cup and the Olympics on TV is was a first time in my career because my previous sports injuries I had allowed at least allowed to compete for "means winters."
The 2014 a rebuilding year for me!
'' From the beginning of January, I spent the weeks between Challes-les-Eaux (physio), Albertville (physical training) and boulouris (regeneration). Progress continues slowly, my knee still hurts but overall it is getting better. I started to do the bike, physical training and athletics in general.
All this work and these advances restored my morale and for this reason I am finally giving reassuring news.
Although I still have not set specific dates, I will be probably be able to put the skis in a few weeks.
'' The short-term goal is to feel good physically so that the return on skis happen to the best. In the long term it is surely to be ready by February 2015, and for the World Championships in Vail. This leaves me plenty of time to prepare. I already know what to do after an accident on the slopes so and I take all the time necessary to find the feelings'' and the commitment needed to go back to do well at the right time.
Thank you all for your support and for small messages I received during this winter and during the Olympics ...'' It was really nice to know that you were all with me in those moments. I will give you my news to most soon. "
