A fourth place in the race of giant opening in Sölden is a good start to the season. '' And the best I've ever done there if you exclude my victory in 2007. But in 2007 I was the best gigantista the world. Slowly I became a downhill skier. And Sölden is not a race for racers. '' And a very long steep technical specialists where the giant are able to demonstrate their technical skills. So like I said, I am more than happy with fourth place. This is only a race, but I really hope I have been able to take a few steps closer to the best guys in the giant. I made some effort into giant this summer. '' It just so much more fun to compete if you can fight for the top 3 instead of the fifth, sixth and seventh place. Ligety, Hirscher and Pinturault are the best, just like the'' last year. But maybe on a good day I can try to sneak in this podium. Now I go to Kitzbühel to get the traditional gondola for my victory of the'' last year, and then off to Salzburg for the television program of the Red Bull "Hangar -7". '' I can not wait to get back on the snow in America and start racing for real. The winter is a bit'''' started, but does not start for real until there are races every weekend.

NOAA: torna El Niño, come potrebbe influenzare l'inverno 2026-2027 sulle Alpi?
La NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) ha pubblicato il 9 luglio il nuovo aggiornamento sul fenomeno climatico ENSO (El Niño-Southern Oscillation), confermando che El Niño è ormai in pieno sviluppo e che continuerà a rafforzarsi nei prossimi mesi. Secondo i climatologi statunitensi, il fenomeno dovrebbe raggiungere il proprio massimo proprio durante l'inverno boreale 2026-2027, con una probabilità del 97% di persistere fino alla primavera 2027 e con possibilità sempre più elevate di raggiungere un'intensità tra le più elevate osservate dal 1950.
