The Graubünden will miss the two triptychs of Lake Louise and Beaver Creek, while the fellow countryman accuses visual problems after the tremendous blow suffered last January in training.

A Switzerland reduced to a minimum due to the long North American trip, between renunciations related to lack of vaccinations and physical situations.
The men's team will not have, for the six speed races scheduled from 26 to 28 November in Lake Louise and then from 3 to 5 December in Beaver Creek, not even the veteran Carlo Janka. The 35-year-old from Graubünden, in fact, also suffered the usual back problems throughout the preparation period, which did not allow him to train more than eight days on skis between summer and autumn. The Olympic champion will therefore not fly overseas, aiming to return for super-g and descent in Val Gardena (17-18 December), and it is a shame if we think that Janka got on the podium of the last descent disputed in Lake Louise, two years ago with a beautiful third place.
In very strong doubt, but it is much more no than yes, as the person directly interested in the "Blick" confided, as was Mauro Caviezel: the winner of the super-g World Cup in the 2019/2020 season, again the specialty leader at beginning of last season, he stopped in January after a very bad fall in training in Garmisch-Partenkirchen; in particular, the severe head trauma suffered still gives problems to the Swiss. “When I'm in an aerodynamic position, at a certain point I see the images split in two.
This is why I consider my chances of participating in the North American races rather low ”.
