"A little mishap, as I like to call it: unfortunately, I will not be in Sölden," wrote the 29 year old slalomgigantista scandinavian yesterday in a post on Instagram. "I have a tendon overloaded in my knee that will need rest and rehabilitation in the gym . But I will return for Levi (the first seasonal women's slalom scheduled for Saturday, November 17. Nina added to NRK that she had to leave training on the Swiss glacier in Saas-Fee, Switzerland, after only two days in the snow due to knee pain.
His 33-year-old compatriot Kjetil Jansrud is on the other hand ready: he has prepared very well and very intensely and feels fit and feels that the moment has arrived, he who came second in last year's general standings, to break the seven-year monopoly of Marcel Hirscher in the absolute Cup. And here is the second piece of news, that is a provocative statement against the 29-year-old champion of Salzburg, as he was very surprised by Hirscher's statements that he reported that, as a neo-popa, he would have a lower profile than usual.
"I think he will run all the races of the program, Marcel is known to bluff before the start of the season but he is always there when he counts - said Jansrud to the Norwegian daily Dagbladet - certainly will set new priorities in his life, but Now, after the birth of his son, he can go even faster but one thing is certain: Marcel will ski fast in the next season, but that does not mean he is unbeatable. "In the coming season Jansrud as well as downhill and superG wants to score points in parallel but also in giant and combined.
Jansrud, who describes himself as a bundle of energy, knows, however, that he must also do it with his strength. "Obviously, winning the races in his technical races is more important than being placed in other competitions: it costs a lot of mental energy, travel time and it is also a special challenge to move from one discipline to another, but the big crystal ball is a big goal: "If I want to have a chance, I have to score points in more than two specialties: there are only two options: either you become a handyman or you give up the fight for the overall World Cup" the Norwegian concludes dryly.
