Top skier Nadine Fähndrich focuses on improving her classic technique after a successful past season, while also recovering from heart rhythm concerns. Conversely, athlete Beda Klee navigates the transition to new coach Erik Braten Guidon after the departure of François Faivre, hoping to build on last year’s strong performances. The season opener promises to reveal whether the team’s adjustments will yield confidence or challenges.
