Carolina Kostner before the crowning glory in Milan?

Around 500 accredited journalists, around 330 million TV viewers worldwide, 587 volunteers and 65.000 tickets sold. The World Cup in Milan promises to be an absolute sporting highlight.

The perfect stage for Carolina Kostner's farewell to international competitive sport. Or not? This question is causing a lot of excitement before the start of the World Cup. The 31-year-old ice princess will only decide at the end of the season whether she will continue again or hang up her skates. First of all, she wants to concentrate on the title fights in Milan, which could be another absolute highlight of her already outstanding career. She completes the short program on Wednesday afternoon, the free program follows on Friday from 18.30:XNUMX p.m.

Kostner will be taking part in a world championship for the 14th time. She owns six medals, one of which shines gold. Whether precious metal will be added again seems questionable given the young, technically savvy competition. But after finishing fifth at the Olympics, the South Tyrolean left no stone unturned to improve again and reach her top form by the time of the World Championships. She trained for two weeks in St. Petersburg, then again for several days in Bergamo before finally moving on to Milan. There she could definitely crown her career in the next few days.
