The Slovenian, injured last March in Lenzerheide, suffers when workloads increase: she does not want to risk the season, coach Steharnik told siol.net.

Ten days to the opening in Soelden, at least for the girls who, as usual, will open the weekend on the Rettenbach with the first giant of the World Cup scheduled for Saturday 22 October.
Among the athletes in the top 15 of the specialty WCSL, the only one who comes close with so many unknowns and the real possibility of even having to give up the first season, is precisely the last on the list: we are talking about Meta Hrovat, who still accuses problems with that injured right knee (severe bone contusion between the femur and knee, a couple of months' stop with conservative therapy), but not operated on before resuming training on skis in the summer.
Everything ok until the loads have increased: as Denis Steharnik, the new coach of the 24-year-old Slovenian, admitted to "siol.net", the knee hurts when it gets serious, as in the last training sessions in Val Senales after those softer in Hintertux. “We don't want to risk it and we think day after day - his words - The pain returned, after a good training session in Argentina, on the occasion of the camp in Saas-Fee when Meta trained on the ice. It cannot be at its maximum at this moment when the loads are intense ”.
In the event of a forfeit for Soelden, there will be only three Slovenians at the starting gate in the Oetztal, considering that the national team has already lost, at least until the beginning of 2023, another important element like Tina Robnik. Therefore, Andreja Slokar, Ana Bucik and Neja Dvornik remain available.
