And it worked, with this first World Cup success since January 2023…
Yes, it feels good, because it’s been a while since I won, even if I didn’t come far last season (four podiums including two second places). In a winter, there is good and bad, so this victory will do a lot of good for the confidence that is being built. I think I did one of my best preparations for the season, one of the most successful, although I also had to ski well in the race. So there is the relief of winning and telling myself that I will be able to be in the game. I also skied very well in training last season, but I had small mental lapses in the race, I wanted to control things too much during the second runs. The most important thing is to fully commit. But I’m not saying that I’ll succeed every time!
