Lindsey is hoping to return to the race in January after a knee injury that took place a month ago in November, to resume her hunt for Ingemar Stenmark's 86 World Cup record. "This is what We hope so.This is the plan, "said Paul Kristofic, head of the United States Alpine Ski Team.
January would be the most opportune moment to return, as there are three consecutive races of speed races, all with first a downhill and then a super-G: on 12 and 13 January in St. Anton am Arlberg, in the Austrian Tyrol, then on the 19th and 20 January in Cortina d'Ampezzo and finally on 26 and 27 January in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, in Bavaria.
The problem is that Vonn, who is now stopping at 82 wins, has not yet returned to training on skis: "He is only doing rehabilitation working on strength," Kristofic said, adding that no precise date has been set for his return to the race. 'training on skis - Depends on how things go when it's not on the snow, you live the day, and the 34-year-old obviously aims to be present at the Ã…re World Cup in February.
Meanwhile, even the Olympic champion and winner of the World Cup downhill Sofia Goggia hopes to return from injury, fracture to the right ankle, in January. The direct interest in the party of the Yellow Flames had announced in an interview with Corriere dello Sport that his return on skis would happen on December 27th.
These are the details of the coach responsible for the blue descendants Giovanni Feltrin: "He has an appointment with the doctor about 21 December and I hope he is ready for skiing training before the end of this month. The idea is that she returns in January. The exact date I do not know, but it would be nice if it were in Cortina ".
