Rolland: "I hope to be fit for Vail 2015 I have to defend my medal!"

World champion transalpine confesses to Camilla Alfieri'' after yet another injury to a winning career, but too unfortunate, "My story is a bit less common and many people, knowing it, I have taken a liking to. Let I would have signed on to be able to relive all this again next winter. The medal has not changed me a lot,'' I feel just a little more sure of myself. "

The past season has given us many stories to tell, from the record of points to win Tina Maze in the overall standings Hirscher for the second year in a row passing through the exploits of our "men jet." Among all these stories there is one particular made up of many accidents and joys unforgettable. Marion Rolland last February took home the gold medal in the women's downhill World Cup Schladming. A victory for many unexpected, but for the insiders, the Frenchman was certainly among those to keep an eye out for the win. After less than six months, however, the transalpine not commit umpteenth injury, an injury that will keep her away from the slopes throughout the season, perhaps one that would mark the consecration of the leaders of the global rate. At month operation we contacted "Roro" to get some more information on the recovery. The first question is mandatory: how is your knee? "The knee has been rather well. I just started rehabilitation. The first few days after the operation are never easy, but now everything is for the best. " Keeping track of accidents by Marion is a difficult task and the French, unfortunately, has become an expert on the subject enough to have a precise protocol to follow: "In the first 45 days I can not put your foot on the ground. In the fall I broke in Chile anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus inner side so we are proceeding calmly in the initial phase of recovery. "The World Cup loses, even before starting, one of the most representative athletes who, especially in optical Olimpadi, could have been one of the stars for the season upon us. "Just fall I realized that my knee was gone, but until the MRI I tried to be optimistic. I was really on the right track after years I felt that everything was starting to get going and was looking forward to the winter to put it on display. The first thought has gone into operation: I did not want to end up under the knife again! Take risks, however, is part of our sport and if you want to go faster you have to take the equivalent of these drawbacks "Over the past months," Roro "has been engaged in many events to celebrate the victory world: "My spring was really intense! But it was fun. My story is a bit less common and many people, knowing it, I have taken a liking to. Let's say that I signed on to be able to relive all this again next winter. The medal has not changed me a lot,'' I feel just a little more sure of myself. "The challenge between Marion and personal accident insurance is definitely in favor of the latter. The world medal seemed to represent the end of this contest and just reward for a career really troubled. After this last incident you have to wonder what is the right reward to forget this extra stop. "At the moment my desire is to return as soon as possible on skis sharing the good feelings that I had before I got hurt. The rehabilitation is long and full of ups and downs. I hope to be fit for 2015 in order to defend my medal at the World Championships in Vail. " Twitter: @ camy00
