Tessa Worley tries the sensational recovery for Kranjska Gora one month after the knee operation

The French champion returned to skiing last Friday and has now been included in the call-up list. Saturday may be for the giant, but it will be decided on the eve.

If the women's circuit has lost in the last hours Viktoria Rebensburg and Sofia Goggia, who would also have been among the protagonists of the giant next Saturday in Kranjska Gora, in Slovenia we could see Tessa Worley on the track. Yes, surprisingly, the transalpine champion had already returned to skiing last Friday, just one month after the operation on her right knee on 7 January, when she announced the stop for the continuous pain in the joint, saying she was "hopeful of being able to return by the end of the season. " And today Tessa ended up on the list of players called up for the next giant, after skipping that of Sestriere: her position is still in the balance, given that she will evaluate until the eve if it will be appropriate to compete on Podkoren, otherwise postpone the return to race at the third to last specialty event, that of Ofterschwang on 7 March. At home France for the men's sector, instead, towards the fast races of Saalbach-Hinterglemm there will again be Valentin Giraud-Moine, who in January had dedicated himself above all to the European Cup (returning to the podium) thinking of looking for a permanent place towards the next season, and confirmation of Alexis Pinturault's participation in Friday's super-g, on that track where the 28-year-old from Courchevel finished 5th in the 2015 race.
