The world medals of Are, in the heart of the 2018/19 season, had made an excellent year without a win in the World Cup, while the last season without a big event was certainly less satisfactory for Wendy Holdener.
The 26-year-old Swiss champion has certainly not experienced a low-level year, on the contrary, but for the status achieved by the native of Unteriberg it is clear that the 6th place in the general classification left a bit of disappointment, with success ( which she misses from the combined Lenzerheide of 26 January 2018) always and only touched despite six active podiums, of which three seconds and three thirds in four different disciplines.
The total of Wendy's podiums in the World Cup rose to 38 with just three wins, with the last decisive step to play crystal balls and titles that could go from ... change of technician; it is yesterday's news in fact the farewell to coach Werner Zurbuchen, overall for 5 years with her and who has chosen to devote himself to the family, having become a dad for a year and a half and "with Wendy who needs to be followed better, practicing all disciplines. I am sure he will remain at the top because he is a great athlete. "
Already in recent weeks, Holdener had tried to snatch Livio Magoni from Petra Vlhova; as we had said at the time when the same Slovak, last week, had formalized the continuation of the relationship with the technician from Bergamo at least until the Beijing Games 2022, Magoni had hesitated also because the offers received were really of the highest level, including that of the Federsci Swiss that would have joined him to Wendy. The definitive "no" thus leaves the tip of Swiss skiing on foot, with news in this sense expected during this month of April.
