"I've skied all my life - he writes Svindal -. Having skiing sport & Outdoors; open & egrave, even a sport that is affected by the weather. Add in the mountains the weather conditions are variable. During my career skiers are been in many meetings where time and weather conditions were not on our side. E '' almost normal to lose a couple of days and have a few days with very bad condition. Bad weather for skiers means bad snow. Pu & ograve , be very soft. O breaks pellet. O & egrave; just hard enough to cross it, but once you wake strong breaks under the skis. Or ce n & rsquo; & egrave; very little. Very little snow means stones. Given that the rocks destroy the skis, you can not use the cross-country race. E l & rsquo; workout if you are unable to use the best material non & egrave, and the same thing. Snow in general & egrave; very sensitive to weather conditions. But also depend on the people who work on the track. They know what to do when the runway stripe. Basically there are a lot of things that can easily ruin a workout. Imagine being a football player. One day the 'grass & egrave; dirty and tough as' asphalt, a Day & egrave; half a meter in height and the next day & egrave; cos & igrave; wet that it runs with the 'water up to your ankles. & Egrave; can still work out, but not for long. And cos & igrave; the snow. Add the wind (sometimes the gusts are so & igrave, strong), rain, snow and fog. Everything is normal in the mountains. There are just a lot of things that would be a lot of other sports & more ugrave; easy if you did a good workout. If I go somewhere I like to stay there for a long period of time. In this way feel reduced to a minimum the luck when it comes to remain. Train long enough in one place makes you take a good pace, sooner or later. That is why & eacute; we spend the whole month of September in Argentina. Like I said, go to a place for a week c & rsquo; & egrave; need a little '' luck, and you could easily lose half & agrave; or more & ugrave; of days available. But go somewhere for a month and have shit conditions almost every day !!! This & egrave; the first time for me. And I hope both l & rsquo; latest & hellip; Coaches, technicians and skiers are all working hard and hoping every day that there are good conditions. When you get disappointed with the weather we have been almost every day ... Well, it gets frustrating at the end. What this September in Ushuaia & egrave; was the worst meeting I have ever done. We really had bad luck, for a month in a row ... I hope that changes in October and November, so you can do quality workouts & agrave; and be ready for winter fun un''altra !! "
A few hours later you Aksel & egrave; felt compelled to publish a note of clarification: "Yesterday, I posted an update that explains the different challenges faced by skiers to do a good workout. & egrave And the weather, the main challenge. dell''importanza But I also talked about the staff working on the track. dell''aggiornamento At the end my conclusion & egrave, we have had very bad luck and conditions of shit for almost the entire month of September. I never said that the staff on the track did a bad job, but even that they did a good job. Leaving all the 'impression that may have been part of the problem. did not & egrave; cos & igrave ;. They did a good job and are obviously equally disappointed to have had a period like this. "
