Davos, Switzerland:
Canadian national team skier Sarah Renner started the World Cup season in Gallivare, Sweden with a 33rd place in the 10-K classic. A week later she was 31 in the 10-K skate in Kuusamo, Finland and improved even more two days later by placing 23 in the 10-k classic.
Fasterskier.com got a chance to ask her a few questions before the Wold cup sprint race in Bern this weekend:
</font></center><BR></p>
<p><b>Sara, it looks like you are skiing faster and faster as you are getting in more races. What are your thoughts after the two first weekends of World Cup races?</b></p>
<p>– Today, we are off to Bern for tomorrow’s (Saturday) World Cup sprint race. George Grey will stay here in Davos to prepare for next weeks World Cup races in Val di Fiemme. I have had a good summer/fall of training and I think it is a matter of patience for the hard work to be reflected in the results. I am satisfied with the last classic race in Kuusamo and feel like I am on the right track now. I am a late bloomer and my results usually get better as the season progresses so I’m hoping to get stronger as we approach the Christmas break. </p>
<p><b>What you are working on and aiming for in the next couple weeks?</b><br />
I hope to be fighting for a top 10 in the sprints and top 20 in the rest of the distance races. Â </p>
<p><b>What’s your approach for the upcoming sprint race in Bern?</b><br />
My biggest challenge is to not run out of steam in the final push to the finish. We will see what happens. </p>
