Aksel Lund Svindal closes early season

The super-G and downhill of the World & nbsp; Vail / Beaver Creek, in both of which you & egrave; ranked sixth, will remain the only races of the season for & nbsp; Aksel Lund Svindal. This was announced himself on the blog of its official website. Following the tradition of the text posted by Norwegian.

The world championships of Beaver Creek was a great experience. The 'whole process of trying to be ready in time & egrave; was a big challenge. I like challenges. And in the end it worked, but with a margin of only a day or two. It '' was probably due to a small accelerated skiing in the world championships. But I felt that everything was under control. Since I left Beaver Creek I thought a lot about what to do in the rest of the season. I feel like skiing & egrave; my priority & agrave; number one. As l & rsquo; injury seems to be the priority & agrave; number one for the medical staff. The 'other aspect & egrave; I'd take one of those risks for my starting positions for next year. As we all know the numbers starting make a big difference in ski racing. I feel pretty good skiing, but I also feel that I have lost those three months of skiing. To return to 100% avr & ograve; need more skiing, but if everything went perfectly I think it would be possible to do some good races. Even the tendon d & rsquo; Achilles seems wellbeing. But, as they told the boys to the Olympic center of Oslo, & ldquo; you still have three months of rehabilitation training, do not forget it! & Rdquo ;. And then we have the issue of the starting position. To describe it simply & egrave; pi & ugrave; or not cos & Igrave ;; if you & egrave; injured you get the status of injured. An injury & egrave; something to which the FIS says that it takes 8 months to recover. So if you go back quickly, then you do not get the status of injured. Ci & ograve; means that if now I begin skiing World Cup I am not injured and I never have been. And that means that I have the last few races of the season to try to collect the same ranking points that the other guys have tried to collect all the 'winter. If you do not collect them will start & ograve; the next season with a bad starting number. I did the math, and it would be possible to realize it. But if everything works perfectly. Including weather and other factors that I can not control, because & eacute; I could not afford any race canceled. Cos & Igrave; between mathematics and the good advice of people I trust to have made the decision that user & ograve; the rest of this winter to return to the old good condition. In other words do not let & ograve; the next races. Whether skiing both physical rehabilitation they need a lot more & ugrave; work. And so I have time to do it right. Tains all of next season to get fully prepared and ready to attack again at 100%. Thanks for the support during the world championships. Ci & ograve; & Egrave; was very significant !! And it was almost surreal to go back sooner than I expected. But back to the Olympic center was clearly back to reality & agrave ;. Another 3 months of rehabilitation ...
