Anna Schilcher strengthens her skills in the high-lying Chile training camp

The West Styrian ski racer Anna Schilcher has raised her performance to a new level in the past few weeks. Over a period of more than three weeks, she trained high up in the Chilean Andes, in la Parva , at about 3,000 meters. During this time, Schilcher and the European team not only had the opportunity to improve their skills, but also to compete with the best in the industry.

For the athlete, who belongs to the European Cup team, the intensive training sessions were a welcome challenge. Together with the Austrian World Cup team and the Italian men's team, they completed numerous exercises that made it possible to make comparisons at the highest level. "We were able to go through helpful units and measure ourselves with the world's best athletes," said Schilcher enthusiastically.

goals and comparison options

Despite the positive experiences, the perception of the training effects for Schilcher varies. "The preparation and the racing season are two very different things," she said, underlining that best times during the preparation phase do not necessarily have to indicate the later competition. It is important to be aware that the demands in the World Cup increase every year. "So I focus my focus on my development before the season. The challenge and the pressure will come when the races start," she added.

The training in Chile was optimal for Schilcher, because she was able to ski almost consistently with her team. "From 21 days we were 18 on the skis. We rarely find such stable conditions in Europe," she noticed, while she was happy about the great progress compared to the past few years.

outlook for the upcoming challenges

After returning to Europe, the athlete already has other tasks. A conditioning camp of the ÖSV team and the official clothing from the ski association are the next programs before going to ski-specific training on domestic glaciers in mid-October. Schilcher enjoys the backing of her sponsors, especially since her contract was extended as an army athlete and she continues to receive support from Stoelzle Oberglas .

Schilcher is grateful for the opportunity to pursue your passion in ski sports and is looking forward to the upcoming challenges. The connection to her sporting dedication and gratitude for the support will certainly also strengthen you in the coming season. In an interview, she said: "I am ready to give everything!"
