Despite the back pain that caused him to lose at least a couple of weeks of training in winter conditions, ClÃ©ment Noel remains optimistic towards the beginning of the next World Cup season, with the viewfinder clearly focused on the first competition of specialty, expected Sunday 24 November in Levi. The 22-year-old from Remiremont has already resumed physical training in Albertville and, speaking to his ski-chrono colleagues, has returned to his final weeks of work: "I returned from Argentina as a precaution, we have not yet defined the return on skis , but I'm fine and my program doesn't change - Noel's words - I'm not worried, even if we have to monitor the evolution of the situation, or if the pain will come back once in the snow: it's not the ideal approach, but there is still time before the races and for Levi I am convinced that I will be ready ". The slalomist already three times winner in the World Cup has had to put aside, at least for now, the giant speech: "For now I will remain concentrated on the slalom also considered this back problem. In Ushuaia I played a part of the training and I can say that it was not very good, given that the conditions were not optimal, but already in Wittenburg we had however carried out an important amount of work that will be useful again ". FANARA WITH SALOMON Withdrawn last March at almost 38 years, at the end of a season still as a great protagonist in "his" giant, Thomas Fanara has already carved out a new role in the white circus. The French champion, in fact, signed a contract with Salomon (after having lived all his high level career, almost 15 years long, with a brand like Fischer) to act as ambassador of the Savoyard brand but, above all, collaborative luxury tester with three engineers, in the research and development unit of the Savoyard house.
