Honestly, the most stressful thing in the 1/8 finals was when I was competing against the Swiss Keizer. I do not know then if the tracks are equal. Later it was easy. I felt really great – says WP SportoweFakty Aleksandra Król.

– At the beginning of the pre-season, I was struggling with an injury, which made me hardly train on the board. For this reason, in the first stage of the World Cup, I often have mistakes in qualifying runs. Today, for the first time this season, everything was perfect, explains the 31-year-old.
Before the Polish snowboarder, departure to the capital of China. The king has already competed on the Olympic route and she likes it very much.
– I have already started on the route in Beijing during the pre-Olympic trial. Then I took fourth place. The route suits me very well. The only thing we do not know about the setting of the poles on the route, so at the moment it will not be more curved or more straight – explains Król
– It was my last competition before the Olympics. On January 26 we are flying to Beijing and we will train there. During the Games, I will only take part in my crown competition – the fight against the winner of the world’s competition horses.
The women’s parallel giant slalom will start at the Beijing Olympics on February 7, 2022. It will start at 7:30 CET.
