"A St.Moritz we played some good World Cup, but overall the season in the World Cup was not positive. Not winning the Cup for women's nations, despite all the injuries, it makes me hives. Then we analyzed the situation to see what did not go the right way and we realized that nations with fewer resources of our have decided to streamline their work, creating smaller training groups to better follow their top athletes . This policy has proved successful, so we decided to revolutionize our internal organization and to follow the same path, by combining our economic strength of the smaller countries working methods. We increased the training groups and at the same time reduced the number of athletes entered in them. In this way they will be noticed more quickly any difficulties and will be able to detach some coaches just to follow specifically those who have a problem, until you have solved. So for the next season the federation will prepare 108 skiers, divided into 18 groups, followed by 68 coaches. It is clear that this revolution will have a very high cost, I estimate more than one million euro. However this is not a problem, because the money will find them. We are in a position to potercelo afford, because the OSV has no debt. In addition this will allow us to make specific preparation of certain race format. The Olympics are just around the corner and to increase the loot must think of competitions generally disdained. For example, the combined. Watch the Swiss, the World Cup well have collected 4 medals in these two races. What I mean is that nobody plays workouts focused on this kind of evidence, then treating them more you can gain a competitive edge over rivals. The same goes for the Team Event, which will award medals to PyeongChang. You can build a team in advance and prepare it just for this race. This effort has also led to the hiring of Sepp Brunner as the new technical director of the men's downhill. For years we were considering whether to try to snatch the Swiss, but times have become mature only now. To be honest, the results of the downhill racers have a little 'disappointed. In this team there are many strong athletes who have not made as they could. We must return to winning ways by their own efforts, not by luck or because the others are wrong. Brunner's task will be to put back on track our kids. Marcel Hirscher instead continue to work as it did last year, unless he does not ask for a change. Whoever proves to be able to go two seconds faster than the other he will have the right to train as he pleases. " In short, "bellicose" statements SchrÃ¶cksnadel those who proclaim the will to come back really Wunderteam Austrian team.
