He has a great desire to jump from the gate, in all three disciplines that'' have already played a leading role in the recent past, giant, downhill and super-G. Sure, must manage its knees Crystal and prepare, from an athletic standpoint, so "alternative" than many colleagues. But it remains an extraordinary talent, the best in the Italian women's team. Nadia Fanchini tells us with what state of mind'' deals with the new season just around the corner:
"I'm quite well, let's say I'm running a little the situation'' knee.'' Quest'' summer I had a bit of trouble, but it should be so after all the injuries and the various operations had and I can not more to reach the top of the form perhaps, but never mind. Anyway, during and after the trip to Argentina, I have tried to handle me the most, skiing, athletically, and now slowly, albeit with various ailments, I try to make progress. '' always'' a little incognito, for me, because one day I hurt one of the two knees, the day after less, and so on. Yet, in fact, I try to handle me. "
"The bulk of'' training'' up to now I have done in the giant, especially in Argentina, where the first part was in fact dedicated only to the wide doors. I also tried to do a bit of ...'' slalom, but I left immediately lose because your knees are too stressed, in that specialty. then when you aggregate the team down to us, in Argentina, I went to do some training with them, but not too much, six days throughout : Three days and three super-G downhill. now, after the race in Solden, I will begin to make withdrawals with discesiste, then when you go to America I'll try to manage everything for giant, downhill and super-G. Located in Beaver Creek I'll do all the races, giant, downhill, super-G and then I should be there as well in Lake Louise.'' specific training on point so I hope to be able to do after Solden, especially when we move in Copper Mountain before the races in the United States and in Canada. "
"Solden? Would like to be in better shape than they are, I do not feel quite ready, but the goals are always high. For me it would be great to get into the top ten, of course it is not easy and it will not be easy. That is a race on the Rettenbach a bit'' to him. After the last test of the season in March, it is always difficult to start again. C'' is the one who starts with the right foot and those who make a little effort'' I hope to start on the right foot, although, again, I would be more ready. Anyway, I go to Austria with what I have, to stake my race, I have enough experience to understand com'' is Solden.'d be really happy to get the ten, as I have done in the last two races of the last year, in giant slalom. I believe in it, then we'll see. then, in general, I'd like to go back to the first group of excellence in all three of my disciplines, downhill giant and super-G. I really want to try it and I really hope that luck turns for once on my side. "
