She had prepared for the new season, two weeks ago she won also the Pitztal European Cup races, but then she got sick. “She was lying in bed for six days, she could not move and barely walk,” said coach Marek Jelinek.

Samka is all right, she was on the check Thursday morning but her body is significantly weakened. “It has improved, the doctor has decided he can try the training,” Jelinek said.

And so the Olympic winner from Sochi went to Montafon on the track. “I did not do anything for six days.I did not know what to expect, I did not believe it, “CTK said. Eventually she was not so badly trained in the track. Three trips were held, one track was full. “It did, though it was, of course, to feel.”

And so he finally decided to start Friday’s qualification.

Anyway, I’m glad that there was one of my disciplines, “she said on her website to the giant slalom. Ledecká would like to change the snowboard and skis that she also practiced this year with slalom Šárka Strachová or the runner Ondřej Bank. “We do not yet know what races we are going to do at the World Cup skiing. It will depend on how well I’m going to be, but it’s probably going to be some super-G or giant slalom, “Ledecká said.

The victory in Carrède will be defended by Marion Kreiner, the world’s second World Cup winner season.He won Switzerland by Julie Zoggová, and women should be as young as the winners.
