We arrived to Valmaleco on monday evening and spent tuesday at our apartment, relaxing after a long drive. First official training was on wednesday, it went great for me, landings were pretty soft, i really liked the second kicker, i landed my planned run and after that, i was really hyped to try a new trick, but when i came back to the start, one FIS delegate said that training is over for today, see you tomorrow. I thought, alright i'll do it tomorrow, but the next day it was different, landings were harder and i really didn't wanted to try a new trick on this hard landing.

On planned competition day, friday, wind blew to hard and the delegates postponed competition to Saturday. Later in the afternoon i went with my coach to team leaders meeting and after this we moved to the wine bar with other coaches and delegates. because of the competition next day
I drank only one glass of wine and one glass of superbier, but i ate a lot different types of salami, cheese and bread baked at home. Others drank a bit more than me and i was witness to some interesting talks between coaches and delegates. However, i realized, that the life of the delegates isn't easy at all. I came to our apartment at 11PM and went to sleep, but i had so many things to think about and i couldn't fall asleep till 3AM.

We woke up at 6AM, packed our stuff and went to the mountain. Due to strong wind, landings became even harder and i had even more troubles with the curve right after the second kicker. I was in second heat, somewhere at the end and it was even harder to stay focused. In my first run i screwed right side 540 for the first time in my life and i fell, than came my second run, i took a bit too much speed for the second kicker and landed sw1080 deep and than, when i started braking i fell, wtf why?? Unfortunately i screwed at the most important competition of the season, but i had a great season and one competition won't change this.
