What do you say about the successful weekend you have with your rendering behind?

"It was a happy weekend, I liked it a lot in the huge slalom because she showed what she could do in practice, it was more important for me than seventh, and against Levi she improved. access to the race and showed what we were doing during the summer. "

In a huge slalom, she equaled the maximum of her career in World Cup in this discipline. How did you see his performances?

"In the first round, it was standard, nothing special.In the first twenty-five entry gates, the second ride went as I imagined it." I like it when I ski like that and the weather was very good. "

Do you think it should be even higher than in seventh position?

" Certainly! If he's going to ski from start to finish, as shown in the second round, he may be surprised. We know it's there and we do our best to do it. "

What were his performances in slalom?

"I did not like skiing in the first lap, and in the second race it improved, I thought she was trying to ski as she was in her options." was a good race and I'm sure if she did the same thing in the first round, she would be upset by Mikael Shiffrin. "The American knows that Petra is the only one who can move her away until now. He realizes that if my adventure can handle the first and the first round, it's very dangerous. "

You made the track of the first round. Was your goal to build it at Petre's convenience or make it so uncomfortable for Shiffrin?

"I built a very difficult track, because I knew that if I put the doors in rhythm, Shiffrin would be very fast and the other girls would not be there, I used them to make the task as difficult as possible. They had gone out, but Petra knew it would be difficult, and this track has been trained several times, so she knew all the door combinations. "

Your track failed to finish up to 16 races and Shiffrin, after the race, said that the goal position was very demanding for the women's slalom …

"It was my intention.I also talked to his personal trainer Mikom Day.He said that he understood why I had laid out the track of the kind and that I had done a great job as a coach, because everyone had to do something for the benefit of their riders and did not trace the track as an obstacle. "

But with other teams, you have not really had this track. It does not tell you that?

" Yes. Others do not care. For me, Petra is the key and we stand together at the winning levels. Other teams can tell what they want if they are behind our backs. "

The visibility during the slalom was not good. Viewers have not even seen the screens during some races. What were the conditions in Killington for you?

"Some skiers saw better, others worse, the first ten to fifteen girls, however, skied for about the same visibility, the conditions as such were good, the problem was just fog."

As at Levi, in Killington, Petra was far behind Shiffrin in the first round, the second round was balanced. How is it that the first Slovenian round is not as good as the next one?

"At Killington in the first run, she made a mistake with a unique combination of firearms, but she had no problem with the training, she took a half-second, and at the same time she could only lose ten or twenty hundred Americans and put more pressure on her.So he wants to break it, he has to go through all the doors to perfection. "

What is your program in the coming days?

"At noon, Petra will be at her house in Liptovsky Mikulas, she is waiting for her hard fitness, and on Sunday we return to skiing, but I still do not know where, let's see what the conditions are in Sterzing where I live. Parallel slalom to do so on December 9 in St. Moritz, however, the super-G scheduled is omitted.The other girls will come to Switzerland at high speed during the weekend races in Lake Louise, Canada. It makes no sense to go to the competition with a thirtieth place finish.In addition, the track at St. Moritzi is not easy, it has many inequalities and the skier needs the know perfectly well, you'd have to train at the super-G at the expense of the parallel slalom and risk not having to go well, but he's lucky enough to get more points in the parallel slalom than he's in. " in super-G. "
