Finnish alpine skier Kalle Palander (World Champion 1999) has been training for the upcoming Alpine Skiing World Cup season. Physical tests in Finland have shown that in some areas Kalle Palander’s condition is better than expected, but in some areas the expectations have been higher. Palander has been operated on due to injury and that causes some headache, as does his age. It is a fact that his age already causes some limitations.
Kalle Palander is preparing for the Alpine Skiing World Cup opening in Sölden and he already has two camps behind him. The Finnish alpine skier has suffered from a lack of challengers, but today the Finnish alpine ski team is stronger and team mates can challenge the old world champion. Occasionally, though, Kalle Palander is still the fastest in training. Tests continue until the beginning of the World Cup and Kalle Palander’s team is looking for more speed from the skis.
Homeboy’s World of Skiing is also ready for the world cup. Only few weeks and circus will begin..
