He defeated Covid-19 without suffering too many consequences, indeed he managed to fully recover and already feels in excellent shape in this summer so delicate to "load" in view of the new season. Alexis Pinturault is currently in Mieming, in Tyrol, to concentrate on the athletic level that will take him until August, when he will return to skiing six weeks after the first approach, which took place in June on the Pisaillas glacier, in Val d''Isère . "I'm fine and ready to focus on the next vintage - said the French ace in an exclusive interview released on today's edition of the" Kronen Zeitung "- The Coronavirus? Yes, I had it and the whole family, from my wife to dad and my brother (Cedric, skier born in 2000, ed.). We passed it well, but I'm pretty sure it spread to our hotel in Courchevel, also because until the end of March there were practically no restrictive rules. I had a few days with fever and lost my senses of taste and smell, as happened to many. I have carried out the last checks in Salzburg in recent days and everything is normal, including blood values. The most important thing is to be healthy and now I have antibodies to Covid which, nobody can know how long, they can help me. " Speaking of the 2019/20 World Cup, lost by only 54 points to the advantage of Kilde, the combined champion confesses that "at the beginning it was not easy to understand and accept, considering that in the final eight races were canceled including five techniques. I convinced myself that I did my best and it went like this, I won six races and I got on the podium nine times, so I can't have any regrets ”. The next season? An unknown factor, but Pinturault is quite confident: “There are certainly uncertainties, but ours is an outdoor sport and we are talking about a discipline that is practiced on an individual level. I think it's a little easier to handle than other situations. "
