The Austrian giant, after breaking the Crusader 11 months ago, still skied too little to make his debut on the Rettenbach. The Czech downhill skier, on the other hand, is sailing on sight between the summer injury and problems with the Czech federation.

Roland Leitinger will not take the start of the inaugural giant of the World Cup, the next 23 in Soelden.
As reported by various Austrian media, the absence of the man who touched the victory over Rettenbach a year ago, second just 7 cents behind Marco Odermatt after an extraordinary comeback, is a certainty. Two weeks later, the vice world champion of specialties in Sankt Moritz 2017, broke the crusader for the third time in his career, losing the opportunity to participate in the Olympic Games as in 2018.
The recovery was complicated and, despite being now in a good physical condition, Leitinger has really skied too little to show up at the starting gate in the opening: no trip to Chile for the 31-year-old Tyrolean, who has so far only put together a dozen. days on skis. The return should take place in the heart of December, between the giants of Val d''Isère (11th of the month) and Alta Badia, where there will be two on the Gran Risa (Sunday 18th and Monday 19th).
In the women's field, on the other hand, a fairly delicate situation emerges regarding Ester Ledecka: we had already talked in August about a nose injury remedied in training (doing kick boxing), but in the Czech Republic, while the entourage of the Prague champion is not released no statement, there is talk of a collarbone problem.
The three-time Olympic champion (twice in snowboarding and alpine skiing with that magical super-g of PyeongChang 2018) chose this summer to change materials, going from Atomic to Kaestle, but with very little training the debut in the "Speed Opening" of November 5-6 in Zermatt-Cervinia.
Furthermore, the Czech federation has made it known that Ledecka, as well as the other star of winter disciplines, Eva Samkova ready to return to challenge Michela Moioli in snowboard cross after the serious injury that forced her to lose the Beijing Games , has not yet signed the contract necessary to start the season. “The negotiations are still underway, but I honestly don't know what to improve on the proposed agreement”, said the number 1 of the association, David Travnicek a couple of days ago at a press conference.
