Skiers are afraid of the coronavirus. Shiffrin limited contact with a friend

BRATISLAVA. The ubiquitous coronavirus infection has already been felt first-hand by the resounding names of the alpine slopes, such as Mikaela Shiffrin, Lara Gutová-Behrami and Katharina Liensberger.

Three weeks before the start of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the number of infected skiers continues to rise, and those who have been negative so far, including the Slovak Petra Vlhová, rightly fear that they will lose the top of the four-year competition period after a positive test.

“I will say that I am starting to get really nervous. A positive test result could have huge consequences and seriously jeopardize our Olympic dreams.”

It is therefore important to do everything we can to avoid the risk of infection. Everything else is too dangerous, “said Austrian skier Max Franz on the web orf.at .

“It is generally difficult with diseases, but now even more difficult with coronavirus. I make sure that my face is covered as often as possible and that I keep the necessary distances when in contact with other people,” said Norwegian Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, winner of

Super-G Kilde, the leader of the World Cup, added that Shiffrinovou.

“This is also due to the different program of our races during the season, but it is certainly true that I spend the most time with myself these days before the Winter Olympics,” he said.

The Men’s World Cup is currently continuing in an iconic place in Wengen, Switzerland, where the coronavirus protection rules are relatively benevolent.

The world’s best downhill races can be watched by spectators and even public announcements of the results in the presence of fans are planned.

“It’s hard for me to imagine at all these days. There will be a lot of people who will be crowded in a small space. We athletes must all have negative test results, but what about the spectators who are they coming? ” asks the Swiss ski resort Beat Feuz

The specific accessibility of the race is also a specific feature of Wengen. The only way to get there is the Wengernalp narrow-gauge cog railway, which connects the Swiss mountain villages of Lauterbrunnen, Wengen and Grindelwald. “People are crowded there and it’s not ideal at all. It’s best to secure your own coupe,” Feuz added.
