Have two things in common: the same desire to win in Sochi, next February, and the fact of coming back from injuries more or less serious. We are talking about Lindsey Vonn (USA), Beat Feuz (SUI), Johan Clarey (FRA), Bode Miller (USA), Tanja Poutiainen (FIN), Lizeroux Julien (FRA), Federica Brignone, Denise Karbon (ITA), Klaus Kroell , Marlies Schild (AUT) and Susanne Riesch (GER). I'm on the way to the full Recuero (or'' l have already reached), just in time for the Olympic season!
Let's recap for the moment the situation of girls (article from fisalpine.com, signed by Ana Jelusic): Lindsey Vonn:'' the best-known injury happened to the queen of the White Circus during the super-G World Schladming 2013 was one of the favorites, who had scored the first best intermediate pushing hard, but unfortunately fell after a jump in about half of the track, getting the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, in addition to the fracture side of the plate tibial. Immediately transported to Vail, has been operated successfully and immediately started rehabilitation. After months of hard work, just to'' beginning of September Lindsey is back on skis, successfully, without too much pain.
Federica Brignone: a right ankle injury has forced the Aosta Valley gigantista to skip the whole season after the first three races among the wide doors. "It got to the point where I could no longer continue to operate without me for the pain." The cyst formed on his right ankle was removed last December. Federica has put the skis in March and is aggregated to the team in May, so it should be back in shape for the first race of the World Cup in Solden, on October 26th. Denise Karbon: other operation for the "fairy of Castelrotto", which took place last March after an unfortunate encounter with the giant poles in the course of the'' last race of the season in Lenzerheide: dela right ankle fracture. '' After the summer training, the new head coach of the slalom-gigantiste, Livio Gizzards, has only positive feelings: "Denise has made great progress, especially in the latter stages of the preparation. Now is able to withstand a round from 1'' 30'' giant'' and is on the right road to recovery for the next season. "Susanne Riesch: the little sister of Mary fell in September 2011 during the trip to South America and the'' knee injury suffered accordingly blew the last two seasons. The latest news we know that the recovery is going well and that Susanne is finally reunited with her fellow squadra.Tanja Poutiainen: got injured during the Finnish giant Ofterschwang, in the'' last season, and is was then very fast in his recovery. Tanja, winner of 11 races in the World Cup, 3 cups of specialty and five medals in Olympics and World Championships (although no gold d''), is working hard to Flint, Croatia, where already Janica and Ivica Kostelic were helped many to recover from their injuries. Marlies Schild: last, but certainly not the least important of this group, that is the great Austrian slalom skier, infortunatasi after a fall in training in Are, before Christmas, to the ligaments in his right knee. Despite initial negative predictions, which did not give any chance to Marlies to return home in time for the World Cup in Schladming, girlfriend of Benny Raich has put the skis in late January, then trying to compete at the World Championships (ninth in slalom ). But then I decided to stop again to fully recover in the Olympic Games. In the end,'' the only gold that is precisely what is missing in Five Rings ... Twitter: @ gianmilan76; @ newswintersport
