The French gigantist, who triumphed a year ago in the PGS in Sestriere, has practically not even begun a year that has been cursed for her since that September 27th. "I can train my body, but I can't get back on skis yet."

It is a particular case, that of Clara Direz in a 2020/2021 vintage that will not even begin for the 25-year-old transalpine. The native of Saisies announced today that she will not return during this season, having not received the ok from the doctors to return to skis as, instead, was initially planned for the first days of January.
Struck by a pulmonary embolism last September 27, the giant of the Equipe de France feels physically fit, but the risks are still too high for the track: "Not being able to do the thing I wake up for every morning is something that I never thought I'd have to endure - wrote Clara on social media - I hoped to return at the end of the season, but it won't be like that.
I'm in good shape, so I'll continue to train physically and be more ready than ever when I get the green light. "
