Two 8C's in one session each by Uลพnik and Schubert

Nicolai Uลพnik, #7 in the Euro Championship last year, and Jakob Schubert, the best male competitor the last ten years, have been on a three days trip to Ticino and Valle Bavona where they in just one session each did two 8C's, Primitivo and The Kingdom. The latter they did quickly enough to think it was more like an 8B+.

How have you been training lately and what is the next plan?
Uลพnik: I moved to Innsbruck last summer so I basically trained there almost the whole winter until now. I definitely want to do some more short trips to Switzerland in the near future especially since itโ€˜s not that far from Innsbruck. In a few weeks, the competition season is kicking off with the European cup in Klagenfurt and the World Cup in Meiringen. So Iโ€˜m also really psyched to finally compete again and hopefully make good use of my current shape! (c) Michael Piccolruaz
