With injuries affecting the Slovenian women’s national team, the start of the World Cup on Saturday with the giant slalom in Sölden will be cut short. They will only be at the beginning Anna Boucek And the Nigga Dvornik. Since Slokareva will miss the whole winter – it is not clear when Robnikova and Hrovatova will return – the burden of the outcome will fall on Bucikova. « The burden is as much as you put it on yourself.

But it will matter, » 29-year-old Primorca told Sportal and Planet TV. In « I just focus on myself and won’t feel like I have to solve the situation for everyone. »
When you witness the injuries of your national teammates, you realize the risks you take in the sport, Anna explains. “Especially the knees are the most damaged in skating. I think the girls have been well prepared, and have been working out their fitness all summer, just like me. It was an unfortunate set of circumstances. Unfortunately, they are all three knees. But I certainly wouldn’t say it comes down to the fact that The girls didn’t do enough in the preparation period. »

« It’s time to see where we belong »
« You can definitely feel the match coming. I really like the start of the season. The preparation period is long and that’s why I’m happy when we start.

She says this giant slalom is one of the toughest for skaters. “Sölden is a very long track, at a very high altitude. But this is my first winter race. The downhill is also one of the biggest for women, so it will be a real challenge, and that from the start. I think it will also depend a lot on the conditions. It will be necessary to drive very firmly, To « climb » this slope and not give in even to the apartment.
Winter is calling, sleds are ready, Anna Boucek announces on social networks:
Anna Boucek confirmed that the recent equally intense course training sessions at Val Senales were most welcome. And this must also be known in Saturday’s performance. « The course is full of different elements, and I think this year we have been able to do everything so that we can run the race with confidence. » In giant slalom, which isn’t her strongest activity, she wants to take a step forward this winter. “Giant slalom hasn’t been as consistent as slalom so far, but the results have been very good. This year, I hope there will be more consistency in giant slalom as well, to add something to the giant slalom. Certainly, slalom is still my number one discipline. « .
