Tina Weirather wants to return soon to win (the last of the nine successes in the World Cup dates back to March 3, 2018, in the super-G of Crans Montana) and is working very hard on skis in the heart of summer to set aside the 'last, difficult season lived.
The 30-year-old from Vaduz has not won medals at the world championships in Are and has won three podiums in the Cup, all in super-g where, compared to the disappointment suffered in descent, she has almost always been competitive, managing to finish in 3rd place in the ranking of specialties, behind Shiffrin and Schmidhofer. Since last year, Tina has chosen to abandon the giant races by now, to concentrate on speed and try to play her best cards again (despite knee problems), having also changed the technical guide, with the Swiss coach Mathias Briker to follow her from the first training sessions at Les Deux Alpes, which represent the European base of her first seasonal jobs.
NORWEGES AT THE STELVIO
The sprinters of the Norwegian national team started to get serious at the Stelvio Pass in the first post-Svindal year. Without the captain of a thousand battles, who retired after the marvelous silver won in the world descent of Are, only two hundredths from the compatriot and friend Kjetil Jansrud, the same world champion on the snows of the glacier between Valtellina and Alto Adige the group with Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, who has chosen to return to Atomic to make a change, and to a young man in continuous growth like Adrian Smiseth Sejersted.
For them, a week full of work crossing the edges with the blues, given that Peter Fill and his companions are training in these days at the Stelvio.

La detentrice della Coppa del Mondo di gigante, che proprio dall'opening sul Rettenbach ha iniziato a costruire lo scorso anno quel trionfo, ha diviso a metà il lavoro tra focus sulla sua disciplina a Ushuaia e poi velocità sulle nevi cilene pensando al super-g. Rifinitura a Pitztal e poi direttamente a Soelden, il set-up finale lo definiremo in quel momento.
