Four times winner in slalom in the World Cup, now wants to devote himself to fast races: In the pre-season period Petra has been in the snow several days since last year because it has trained, as well as in its specialties, even downhill and superG.
"Speed ​​amuses me, I do not fear it - says Vlhová - but it is difficult to train in all the specialties at the same time I feel really good in the fast races but the transition for me who are slalomista is not easy. expectations are not high, I want to make good races and then see how it goes. "
Petra is not even afraid of overloading races: "The FIS has drawn up a very busy schedule this year. In this season I want to try my hand at speed and combined but the priority remains slalom and giant. When I understand I'm tired I will not do a super-G, it's not necessary to compete if it's not 100% ".
Slovakian at the seasonal press conference admitted that they took another step forward physically. Since the snow conditions in Sölden do not allow us to train, he is doing it on the other Austrian Hintertux glacier. Where to train before the seasonal debut will be decided shortly.
"My goals for the season? The same as last year. In slalom I finished fourth in the classification of specialties, I would like to improve. Also I would like to win a world medal in Åre. But I do not want to look to the future. Last winter I often thought about the Olympics and you saw what happened (two thirteenth places in the technical races, ed). I try to compete with a clear mind and having fun skiing. And now I can not wait to start in Sölden "concludes Vlhová.
