After the Killington weekend, the Swiss will return to Europe and only in Sankt Moritz will she face the super-g. "I'm improving after what happened, but it still takes time." Difficult, at this point, to think of Michelle among the candidates for the general cup as she was for most of last season.

Michelle Gisin has already worked a half miracle to show up at the start of the first World Cup races, after contracting an important form of mononucleosis, Pfeiffer's glandular fever, last July.
With weeks of training lost and clearly a form that cannot be ideal, the champion from Engelberg has already announced an important choice: Michelle will not compete in the triptych of fast races in Lake Louise, scheduled for next week, giving up made to the fight for the absolute crystal ball, which was played at least until the end of January last season, then ended with the best result of his career in third place, behind Vlhova and Gut-Behrami.
Fresh from two good slaloms in Levi (eighth and fifth), the 27-year-old Swiss is certainly growing, but she told Blick that “it would be crazy to compete in Lake Louise without a day of speed training”. In addition, Michelle also suffered a lot from the trip from Levi to Boston, and then moved to Vermont, since the accumulated efforts are still linked to what happened in recent months. “I never expected to be so close to the best already, but I suffer a lot in certain climatic situations and also the altitude. It's nice to know that things are improving and I'm on the right track, but we still need time ”.
The goal is to put the sticks out of the gate in a speed race on the home snow, as Gisin is expected to take part in the two super-gs in Sankt Moritz, scheduled for Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 December in the Engadine.
