Injury badge in the ski team: setbacks before the speed start in Beaver Creek!

Beaver Creek, USA - The Swiss ski racing driver Urs Kryenbühl, who recently recently recovered from lengthy injuries, is faced with another setback. As Laola1.at , the athlete had to go out early during training in Beaver Creek. Initial studies indicated a serious knee injury, and more precise tests are to be carried out in Switzerland in the coming days. Kryenbühl, who has not contested a race since December 2022, threatens to end another season prematurely. The 30-year-old's injury list will again be longer because he had suffered several serious injuries in the past, including a cruciate ligament tear and a concussion.

Swiss ski stars with injury problems

But Kryenbühl is not the only ski star that has to fight with injuries. Corinne Suter, the departure Olympic champion in 2021, continues to fight with the consequences of a cruciate ligament tear and a meniscus injury that she had contracted in Cortina d’Ampezzo at the beginning of last season. According to watson.ch she is still far from being in shape for the races and states that her knee will swill up during new stress. Your comeback at the speed start races in Beaver Creek is therefore uncertain.

Jasmine Flury is also affected, who suffered cartilage damage in the right knee in Crans-Montana. Her progress is slowly going and she emphasizes that her health is now a priority. In contrast, Wendy Holdener, who got an ankle fracture in December, seems to be on the way of improvement and plans to start again soon. However, her return is in the shadow of the loss of a beloved family member, with whom she still has to fight.

The signs for the Swiss athletes are tense with this series of injuries while preparing for the upcoming competitions. With regard to the upcoming races in Beaver Creek, it remains to be seen which athletes can ultimately start and how they will master the challenges.
