There are still a thousand doubts and uncertainties around Mikaela Shiffrin. The World Cup leader has not decided when and if to return to this season finale, clearly shaken by the death of dad Jeff and, this is certain according to what reported by the US media and sources close to the champion of Eagle, far from the tracks for almost two weeks now, after returning to Colorado once he learned of the tragedy that had affected his loved one.
Mikaela was planning a series of training sessions in Obdach, the Austrian town that often hosts her over the winter: obviously all canceled and the same technicians and national team staff surf on sight, awaiting certain news.
Over the weekend of Kranjska Gora we will see instead, as announced in the late afternoon today after the last test on the track, the return of Tessa Worley: amazing what was done by the 30 year old French, who last Friday had put the skis back for the first time after the new knee surgery, and on Saturday he will face the giant on Podkoren with very few workouts in his legs, but finally without pain.
A rediscovered protagonist, even if the condition will certainly not be optimal.
