The fast race on the Colorado Birds of Prey had become his usual stage so much to win it even in 2015, but in the last two years he defected it twelve months ago due to fracture to the malleolus too close, and now it seems that the jumps too year because he needs to keep himself trained in slalom and giant because of the strong competition that moreover does not fall asleep.
So Hirscher, who also said he was very satisfied with the training sessions at Reiteralm, a step away from Schladming, explained yesterday his blog on his package in the super-G, which he still has not decided 100%, leaving a small opening: " To be at the start in super-G I would need at least a downhill test and this would cost me two days of training in my favorite specialties. So for now it is basically a no, but who can ever know how things go ... ".
Hirscher instead, in an interview with the Kronen Zeitung this morning, he is sure of the flat rate in super-G and also wondering if it was worth flying to North America only for the giant on Sunday but then decided not to defeat the race between the doors wide. Meanwhile, his contemporary and historical coach Michael Pircher has become the father of a child on Saturday and will reach Beaver Creek in the next hours. Finally, today's first test of the Birds of Prey descent has been canceled but there are two more on the calendar tomorrow and Thursday.
