The Polish has proved so far to be late preparation, so as not to be competitive even in the format of which & egrave; Olympic champion, the 10 km classic technique: & ldquo; I had already & agrave; thought with my coach to Skip & rsquo; last stage of 2014, the cancellation of La Clusaz has convinced us completely. The change in plans I & egrave; favorable, it would be pointless to compete in Davos & rdquo ;.
His results have so far been extremely disappointing. Kowalczyk, bench & eacute; he said pointing to the World Cup, said: & ldquo; For the first time in eight years I started pre-season training with two months late for study. This demonstrates why & eacute; Saturday my specialty & agrave; I felt die after 8 Km from what I was fatigued. For quest & rsquo; year combating crystal ball to me & egrave; finished & rdquo ;.
These conditions make it understood his decision. Not & egrave; Kowalczyk excluded that may arise at the start of the races of OPA Cup in Hochfilzen, which will be played this weekend and that will open the Continental Cup reserved for Alpine countries.
