Mikaela Shiffrin is cautiously anticipating the forthcoming World Cup start in Sölden at the end of October. She’s paying close attention to the unseasonably warm weather in the Alps. Shiffrin, the record World Cup winner, expressed her ability to prepare mentally for racing under any conditions, even warm temperatures. However, she questioned the wisdom of the early start in such conditions. Shiffrin made these remarks during a media event in Altenmarkt, Austria.
She asked herself several questions, “To what degree should we adapt our environment to a schedule we want to have? Or should we adapt our schedules to the environment?”
In Shiffrin’s view, the race calendar should therefore be “rethought.” In Sölden, it was up to 20 degrees on Friday, October 13, two weeks before the first giant slaloms of the season. Far from winter weather.
The photos from Sölden therefore “don’t look like a racing slope,” the US American thinks: “But the Ötztalers will get it right. The only thing is: I think they should reconsider the date for this race.”
She herself also feels “not at all” ready for the upcoming World Cup season, Shiffrin further admitted.
Prior to this, the 28-year-old had participated with approximately 150 other athletes in an open letter addressed to the world governing body FIS, urging them to take more significant action in combating climate change. The upcoming season traditionally begins with the two giant slalom races for men and women on October 28 and 29.
