“It will be completely different to Cervinia – different setting, different elements and back to heats of four again,” she said.
“I hope that I can fight for the top positions in my home race. Charlotte Bankes (GBR) will for sure be fast and many other girls have made great use of the longer break.”
Adamczykova back from the ballroom
Nobody has enjoyed as long a break as Eva Adamczykova (CZE), the 2023 world champion who missed the first two stops of the season to compete in a celebrity ballroom dancing contest on Czech TV, reaching December’s final.
“I really don’t want to ride it easy in the World Cup season,” she said. “I’m going to try my best and I’m hoping that I can make some podiums but it’s pretty tough to keep up with the girls because they are so good, and getting better every day.
“I watched the races in Les Deux Alpes [France] and Cervinia – it was really tough racing so it’s not going to be easy at all. I’m not worried about it; I’m just going to see how it goes in St Moritz and then have some more training in February.”
Grondin and Haemmerle to lock horns again
One rider on the men’s side who has been making every course a home away from home so far this season is Eliot Grondin (CAN).
