Rebensburg returns and raises, with a South Tyrolean technician increasingly at his side

Christoph Kienzl will work with the German sprinters, following in particular the Bavarian champion ready to return after the injury to the tibia.

The Garmisch weekend last February represented for Viktoria Rebensburg the beauty and ugliness of a swing season for Germany itself. On Saturday the first victory of his downhill career, 24 hours later the fall in the super-g and the crash in his left leg: season ended with estimated recovery times in at least a couple of months, but in this spring "Viki" already has I could start working hard again, with strength and endurance work to create that athletic base that will allow her to have a good level already when, probably between July and August, she will return to skiing. As reported by sportnews.bz, alongside the 30-year-old native of Kreuth there will always be a figure who has known her for years: this is Christoph Kienzl, a young '86 class technician who worked in the German federsci as supervisor of the team of the disciplines technical, while in the coming winter he will be with the speed team, thus also supporting two athletes looking to relaunch such as Kira Weidle and Michaela Wenig. A Rebensburg that, during last season, was criticized by the head of the Alpine skiing sector of Germany, Wolfgang Maier, as his performance in giant (certainly not at the levels of the previous years) would have been conditioned by a training too bland compared to the need for a specialty where competition is now extraordinary. The evolution of a high quality athlete such as the 2010 Vancouver Olympian (right between the wide doors) will also pass through the work to be done with Kienzl.
