He had to give up the first phase of the ski work, which his teammates are completing on the snow of the Stelvio glacier, but he never said he was worried about this forced renunciation.
The goal of Dominik Paris is to get ready, after long re-education and high-level athletic training, with the workloads that are gradually increasing, in the month of August that should see him again finally putting on his skis, almost seven months after the Kirchberg crash which blew up the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee; that January 21, the blue ski has lost its undisputed leader, but since the operation of the following day, on the path of "Domme" there have been no obstacles to prevent a full recovery, with much confidence to be able to see it to the fullest already from the first races of the next World Cup, which for the champion of the Val d''Ultimo mean the fast tests of Lake Louise (28-29 November).
The tests of the next weeks are fundamental to understand if it will be possible to respect the roadmap that would see Paris return to the snow in an August month where, Covid permitting, the blues will also be able to move to Zermatt and Saas-Fee in order to better modulate the track work. At that point there will be three full months to be able to level up, even if you have to adapt on the alpine glaciers with the renunciation of the trip to Argentina, and then hope to be able to face the usual one in Copper Mountain, at least a couple of weeks before debut of jet men (with all the unknown factors also related to the pandemic in this case).
In the meantime, Paris sweats in the heart of its Val d''Ultimo, between the gym, a lot of bicycles, walks in the woods alternating with its adored music and obviously with the family and two children, with the little Lio to be cuddled together with his brother Niko.
