The Norwegian, who after the injury had had to slow down his training in recent weeks, does not yet feel ready to be fully competitive in a giant like the one on Rettenbach. We will finally see him at the end of November for the opening triptych of speed.

In the end he gave up, despite having been placed on the list of nine squads of his national team at the beginning of the week.
There were doubts about the presence of Aleksander Aamodt Kilde in Soelden, as the Norwegian media had reported, and the latest decision was the most prudent one, considering that the preparation of the 2019/2020 World Cup winner had been tweaked, especially between wide doors.
AAK, after the crusader injury in January, recovered in the summer without particular knee problems, but a new stop due to a severe cold in the weeks preceding the opening, made him miss important training days. For someone like him, in the race only if competitive at least for a top 10 or top 15 placement in the giant, in the end it was not worth it despite the last good session on the snow in Val Senales, in the early days of this week .
This afternoon Kilde's announcement: “I have decided to focus and prepare for Lake Louise, I will watch the Soelden show from outside. Let's go, or else we go as Pinheiro would say ”(teammate Lucas Braathen, ed).
And so, the very champion norge will cheer his teammate Mikaela Shiffrin from the track on Saturday morning, and then his teammates in the giant on Sunday. We will finally see him again in the race from 26 to 28 November for the triptych that will open the season of speed in Canada (with two descents and a super-g), also giving up the parallel in mid-November in Lech / Zuers, given that that '' now it will already be overseas like all the national teams that will prepare the six fundamental appointments between Lake Louise and Beaver Creek.
