Carlo Janka waiver of the giant Slden

Graubunden will not be at the start of the opening race of the next World Cup men on the Austrian glacier Rettenbach

Last season for Carlo Janka has been disastrous especially in giant specialty in which he was world champion (in Val d'Isère 2009) and is still reigning Olympic champion. In Sölden, in the competition between the posts wide that will mark the start of the next men's World Cup on October 27, it would start with a high number of pectoral and then also why he decided to give up jump from the gate of Austrian glacier Rettenbach. "It makes no sense - says the Grisons -. Besides I still have much work to do to get to the level of the best in specialties such as Ted Ligety and Marcel Hirscher." Janka will focus on the speed disciplines and then decide during the next winter if you try to go back in big giant to defend his Olympic title.
