Paerson plays down hopes

"Everyone's talking about records but it is too big for me to take in," Paerson told reporters on Monday.

"It's not something I can get a grip on. It's just too big for me, so I will just focus on what I can do and what is real to me, and that is my skiing and what I am doing every day."

The Swede has already made history with her triumphs in the super-G, the super-combined and the downhill, which made her the first person to win world golds in all five disciplines.

But since the super-G was introduced at world championships 20 years ago, no skier has managed to clinch all five golds at a championship.

Paerson's form has given her an aura of invincibility and has sparked talks of an unprecedented "Anja Slam".

"I had such a big focus on the speed disciplines and everything has been beyond expectations. But I still have energy left for three more races. I'm just going to try to reload," said Paerson, who is also taking part in the tournament's concluding team event.

"It will be tougher in the technical disciplines. Partly because I haven't raced that well in them, and partly because there are so many others that have shown that they are good in slalom and giant slalom. Not least the other Swedish girls."

The 25-year-old's best finish in this season's giant slalom World Cup is sixth and she has only finished two of her four races.

Nevertheless, she enters the giant slalom as the twice defending champion.

"I haven't been skiing much giant slalom this year...(But) I think I am in really good shape. It's just me trusting my skiing and trusting my instincts," she added.

"Are has a difficult slope for the technical disciplines which doesn't suit me that well. I'll try my best, but mostly I'll try to have fun while competing."
