Here the start list of the test!
& Ldquo; So the big question & egrave; if sar & ograve; able to run the World Cup here in Beaver Creek. And l & rsquo; & egrave honest answer; I do not know - writes Aksel -. But I think I'm quite ready and it's worth trying. Cos & Igrave; let & ograve; the first time trial of the descent of tomorrow and then you will see & agrave; from day to day. Star & ograve; well enough to win a medal ?? I have no idea. Probably not. I have not skied for three months, while all the other kids were competing worldwide. But I'm not taking someone else's place in the championships. I have my place because & eacute; are the defending champion. So I think this time & egrave; pi & ugrave; for 'love for skiing. I miss the 'action. And the fact & egrave; that if you & egrave; at the start you always have a chance & agrave; of success. The 'only way that they have no chance & agrave; & Egrave; not to try. And I like the challenge. In October, the majority of people have told me that I was out throughout the 'winter. I just want to see what & egrave; can do. And here we are. It & rsquo; l & rsquo; early February and believe it is possible for me to ski on the Birds of Prey downhill here in Beaver Creek. And then we'll just see what happens day by day. I am ready to give it a try and then we'll see. Aksel & rdquo ;.
For the record Svindal descend & agrave; in the first test of the descent with the number 11, there will also be the American Bode Miller with 30 and l & rsquo; Austrian Marcel Hirscher with 32. l & rsquo; Italy, Werner Heel avr & agrave; 6, Dominik Paris 15, Christof Innerhofer 18 and Matteo Marsaglia 50.
