The double silver of PyeongChang 2018 is almost ready to train: the last knee operation on December 3rd.

The target could be called Soelden, although it will be necessary to go with caution after losing an entire season and going through a triple surgery.
Ragnhild Mowinckel's return to the track is just around the corner, just back from the two crashes to the crusader of the right knee between the descent tests in Soldeu (it was March 2019) and the remedied one, without falling and without feeling any pain, in training on home snow last November.
A few days later the new operation (previously, in July 2019 had ended again under the knife) and "the restart from scratch", as the same 27-year-old from Molde had called her, who made it known how soon she will be able to return on skis to start summer training.
Twice silver at the PyeongChang Olympic Games (downhill behind Sofia Goggia, giant behind Mikaela Shiffrin), the very nice Norwegian will be able to take advantage of the injured status that puts her in a good situation at the level of starting lists in her specialties . It is clear that, especially in giant, you will need time to find the necessary level, but between the wide doors Mowinckel will initially be in the second sub-group of merit (he is 11th in the WCSL), while in super-g he is 8th in the world, downhill 14th and combined 7th.
The track will seem all uphill, but for a champion who still has a lot to give to the white circus, the restart can only be full of joy.
