He had finished 2nd and 3rd in the two previous years, albeit always quite far from Mikaela Shiffrin in the final classification. The 2019/2020 season was less satisfactory for Wendy Holdener, at the end of the sixth and preceded by Brignone, Shiffrin, Vlhova, compatriot Corinne Suter and Marta Bassino, despite conquering six podiums (without winning) with the first two third places of the career in giant, between Courchevel and Kranjska Gora. The new coach of the '93 Swiss class, the Austrian Klaus Mayrhofer, had spoken in recent weeks of the desire to play the slalom cup against Shiffrin and Vlhova, convinced of the potential of his new athlete, but the will is to work on all disciplines, with the descent clearly useful more than anything else to work in a combined alpine perspective. "I still can't say much about my technical change, since we could invest time just to discuss among ourselves during the lockdown period - said Holdener in the interview given to skiweltcup.tv - Of course I am very motivated and I don't see it's time to change, working with my new coach. " Analyzing the last year of the World Cup, Wendy admits to having experienced ups and downs: “I had difficulties in particular in the combined Crans-Montana and in the parallel slalom of Sankt Moritz, but also in slalom the races did not always go as I did I expected. At the same time, everything went as giant as desired, the two podiums mean a dream come true. In addition, I was very satisfied with Garmisch's super-g (3rd place in that case too), so I can talk about a good season, maybe not a great one. It was also nice to win the Nations Cup, making something together as a Swiss national made me happy. "
