Ski star feels corona consequences: “Like a concussion”

Nicole Schmidhofer reported occasional headaches on Thursday evening. “It's almost like a concussion in that the snow or the sun blinds me extremely. It's uncomfortable, but it's okay to ski. I hope there is peace this week.” “An aspirin doesn’t help with a corona headache” Nicole Schmidhofer The headaches would “come and go” with the problem: “If you have a headache and take an aspirin, it usually helps, but not with corona headaches.” It was also easier for Schmidhofer to get over because of the Covid consequences Racing stress for the speed aces doesn't begin until mid-December. “We knew that we had to be very flexible this winter.” Regardless of this, after only two podium places in the previous season, Schmidhofer wants to “ski better than last year” and, in keeping with her motto, “be at the front,” as the 31-year-old outlined. “Top five should always look out if possible.” Tippler “fit” again Your teammate Tamara Tippler that like too Stephanie Venier and Mirjam Puchner, who fell ill with Corona before the season, says he is “fit again, otherwise I wouldn’t be here”. After just three days of training on long skis, there are question marks over my form and endurance. “I've already noticed the 'Goas' downstairs. But it just keeps getting better and better.” Two weeks ago she was “unable to achieve peak physical performance”, was still struggling with dizziness on some days, and before that she failed the ÖSV’s required fitness test. She was an “impatient person,” Tippler admitted. “You also put pressure on yourself, as an athlete you want to train, you know that the races are getting closer and closer. There is a certain amount of internal stress. But in Corona times I learned to be patient and trust myself.”
