The 2019/2020 season ended as worse you could not, but compared to most other sports, at least the skiing world had the opportunity to play a large part of the World Cup and the various circuits, effectively losing a few weeks of competitions (and all the talk related to tourism).
Alexis Pinturault himself, forced to settle for the second final position with the cancellation of the Kranjska Gora weekend and the Cortina finals, also says he is worried about the next competitive year, which should start on the weekend of 24-25 October. in Soelden. "Nobody can say when we will go back to skiing," confessed the French champion who, like everyone else, gave up his spring tests definitively.
Around the middle of the month, Pinturault will return to strength and endurance training, but think he can put his skis back on in July, for the first outings on the European glaciers and then face the South American trip between mid-August and September (or between Nuova Zealand and Australia in other cases), at this point it becomes quite complicated. "It would take at least 4-5 days of training on the snow for each discipline, if you want to reach at least a good level," Alexis said in the statements reported by skiweltcup.tv.
The restrictions in terms of travel also concern the whole summer period, but it cannot be excluded that the problems may also concern the first seasonal events (with the North American stops starting at the end of November). Too early to talk about it, but already in these weeks it is necessary to plan the 2020/21 season.
