A situation to be managed with extreme caution, in order not to ruin an already uphill season.
Petra Vlhova has not been able to ski this week, after the last days of work last week in Val Gardena; the problem with the right tibia is delicate, given the blows suffered on at least three occasions since the start of the World Cup, between Soelden and Levi.
The pain is still there, but the program of races is basically confirmed: no risk to run in super-g, so it renounces the race to open the weekend in Sankt Moritz, but now certain participation in the parallel slalom of Sunday.
The Slovakian champion is taking care of herself in Milan, followed by her Italian staff led by Livio Magoni, who shudders to get her back on track 100% or with a condition that is at least close, while she has also cured a very experienced doctor like Gianluca Melegati , physiatrist and former medical officer of Milan.
Based on the feelings that come from the days in Sankt Moritz, with an expected arrival on Friday in the Engadine, Petra will then think of the giant on Tuesday 17 in Courchevel, in which he will participate if there are no further complications. Then we will consider again what to do about the next challenges, with the combined Val d''Isère of December 22nd that remains an unknown factor.
