After having removed the rumors of withdrawal, the holder of the Giant's World Cup will again focus on the super-g (but also on the parallel to the home World Cup ...) in the next season which will begin on the snow at the end of June, on the Les glacier Deux Alpes where the teammates will be on track in a couple of days already.

He concluded with a bang, winning his second CdM as a giant right at home, at the end of the final battle of Méribel which saw her opposed to Sara Hector and Mikaela Shiffrin.
Then, Tessa Worley kept her many fans in suspense only for a few days, dismissing the hypothesis of a retreat postponed for at least a year, given that the stimulus of the next world championships in France, Courchevel-Méribel 2023, is It was very strong for the 32-year-old who will go in search, next February, of the third world title among the wide doors after the masterpieces of Schladming 2013 and Sankt Moritz 2017.
It's true, Tessa will not be able to fulfill the dream of an Olympic medal that vanished again in Beijing 2022, but the wonderful career of the Le Grand Bornand specialist could end with a bang and, to get the best of next season, Worley has decided to " manage "at least in the first part of the summer.
As the Ski Chrono colleagues report, after the first meeting related to athletic training, which is taking place this week in the Vercors area together with the teammates of the technical disciplines group (lots of bikes and collateral activities for the girls, including a night in bivouac), from Monday Direz and Frasse-Sombet will climb to Les Deux Alpes to begin training on the track on their home glacier.
This will not be the case for the owner of the crystal ball between the wide doors, who will return to the snow at the end of the month, again in Les Deux Alpes, but only for a few “quiet” days. Worley will begin to get serious at the end of July with the scheduled work block in Cervinia, then another session in the second half of August, in Zermatt, and here is the return in September, three years after the last time , on the Argentine snows of Ushuaia.
"Tessa needed a big deadlift to regenerate - the words of Jean-Noel Martin released to the French portal - For next season, she would like to return to Copper Mountain to work on speed (the classic November block before the technical races of Killington , ed) and will definitely be back in Lake Louise. The intention is to always work between giant and super-g ".
It is no coincidence that, last winter, the transalpine champion was able to obtain the best career results in speed, fifth in the super-g of Altenmarkt-Zauchensee in January and then even better in the final race in March, touching the podium with fourth place that seems to anticipate an assault on the world championship medal also in that discipline, although at the next World Championship they will also compete in speed on the "Roc de Fer" in Méribel and not on the "Eclipse" in Courchevel.
In her World Cup, Tessa Worley could therefore play it in four races, given that in addition to super-g and giant, she will defend the bronze of Cortina 2021 in parallel and, in the team event, she will be able to look for the trio of those world titles with her teammates. at home in 2011 and 2017.
