Programs to be redone, continuously adapted, distorted. Even Germany, certainly more than other countries with the possibility of training on their home glaciers, must solve the continuous problems related to Covid-19 and the consequent limitations in place.
German athletes, in fact, already in June had the opportunity to move to the Stelvio, "entering" in the work program that saw the blues (but also Petra Vlhova herself, for example) at work for the whole month on the glacier between South Tyrol and Valtellina. Josef Ferstl spoke about it to the "DPA", without looking for excuses for some disadvantages deriving from a training that, logically, cannot be the usual one. "We are used to something else, it is true, but we have to get the best out of what we have available - the descent of the descent to the German agency - It could be worse, not having the authorization to ski, so we cannot complain" .
The same sports director and great head of the alpine ski sector, Wolfgang Maier, clarifies that "such a situation can exhaust you, but we will make the most of it by adapting to the situations". The trip to Chile for sprinters has already been canceled, “it is equally true that Italians and Austrians, for example, were able to start before us. There is a disadvantage, but they are the rules of the game and we know them. "
For Ferstl, super-g winner in Kitzbuehel in 2019, “now it also becomes a challenge for us athletes. Each of us must motivate and work. "
