The Swiss ski team received bad news in late September. At a speed of over 100 km/h, figurehead Corinne Suter fell and suffered multiple bruises and bruises. But the Swiss woman was lucky in misfortune. Team doctor Walter Frey soon made it clear that Sutter may soon return to the slopes. Now he has set his goal.

The first speed race of the season is scheduled for early December in Alberta, Canada. With two runs and a Super G completed at Lake Louise, a lack there would mean heavy losses in the fight for critical points. Sutar is also aware of this. But she doesn’t want to rush anything: “We will continue to proceed with caution. The first contact with the ice was critical. Now I’m completely focused on starting the pace in Canada,” she explained to “Blick.”

Sutter has fond memories of Canada

A week ago, Technology Weekend in Killington, USA would be a Technology Weekend. A start is possible in giant slalom, but still in the stars.

So the top priority is still a return to Lake Louise. Suter also has fond memories of Canada’s World Cup station. “A lot of people don’t like the slopes and say it’s too easy. I don’t think so at all. It has everything a descent needs,” said the speed lady. The 27-year-old hit the top ten eight times And two years ago he also made it to the podium twice.So the past can prove to be a good omen.
