The recovery is going well, "I managed to work as I wanted, even if there is still a good period ahead". Dominik Paris is convinced of the path taken, after that injury of Kirchberg who interrupted his journey on the most beautiful, for that crash to the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee now on the mend. Over 4 months have passed and the jet of the Val d''Ultimo is almost ready, between physiotherapy and athletic preparation for the whole, with the decisive step that will be to put the skis back on. "I don't know when, but I hope to be ready for the first fast races in Lake Louise", he explained to Rai Sport's microphones, interviewed in his mountains by Davide Labate. The idea is to be able to get back on the snow by August; as known, "Domme" will miss the entire June meeting at the Stelvio, but only in the next few weeks will he understand the reactions of the physique. With a long-term goal, on specific demand. "Yes, I miss the Olympic medal, I went very close to PyeongChang (he was 4th downhill, ed.). I hope to get in shape in Beijing. A career balance? Over a decade in the World Cup, truly beautiful, and a family that is the biggest victory. " Over the age of 30, something can change in the approach to a descent like the Streif, symbol of Paris's dominion in recent years together with the Stelvio di Bormio. “It is always an emotion and fun, for me to face it is a pleasure but I always think of having respect, because you know what can happen to you. Looking for that limit, however, is what keeps you alive as a sportsman. "
