Last weekend was the World Cup in Mont-Saint-Anne in Canada after a few weeks altitude in the USA to the absolute season highlight. The traditional race on the Canadian East Coast was characterised by extreme weather conditions and a technically extremely heavy range. High humidity and temperatures of up to 34 degrees that extremely austrockneten route ruled until immediately before the race. Suddenly torrential rain set up the night before the race, which completely transformed the previously staubtrockene slopes and almost unfahrbar made technically particularly serious passages about large boulders.
Immediately after the start I could queue me in the top flight of first six racers. After attacks by Catherine Pendrel was looking for an early decision before their home crowd, the top was reduced to four women went away with minimal intervals in the final after 90 minutes. After himself could sell something Maja Wlosczowska, silver and bronze in the last serious downhill through an extremely breacking Steinfeld decided. Willow stumbled, I had the bike and only Catherine could the passage on the bike. Thus the medals was not decided but still. We almost the same situation we had at the Olympic Games 2008. I mobilized all reserves and could overtake Catherine still me get silver. After the Championships in 2007 and 2009 I now five times in a row won a medal at the World Championships in the Cross-Country.So my focus on the World Cup have fully paid.
Many love
