Bad luck with injuries in the ski team: setbacks before the speed opener in Beaver Creek!

Swiss ski racer Urs Kryenbühl, who recently recovered from long-term injuries, is facing another setback. How laola1.at reported that the athlete had to leave early due to a blow during training in Beaver Creek. Initial investigations suggested a serious knee injury and more detailed tests will be carried out in Switzerland in the coming days.

The 30-year-old's injury list is getting longer again, as he has already suffered several serious injuries in the past, including a torn cruciate ligament and a concussion.

But Kryenbühl is not the only ski star struggling with injuries. Corinne Suter, the 2021 Olympic downhill champion, continues to battle the effects of a torn cruciate ligament and meniscus injury she suffered in Cortina d'Ampezzo at the start of last season. Loud watson.ch She is still a long way from being back in shape for the races and says that her knee swells with new stress. Her comeback at the opening speed races in Beaver Creek is therefore uncertain.

Jasmine Flury, who suffered cartilage damage in her right knee in Crans-Montana, is also affected. Her progress is slow and she emphasizes that her health is now a priority. In contrast, Wendy Holdener, who fractured her ankle in December, appears to be on the mend and plans to return to racing soon. However, her return is overshadowed by the loss of a beloved family member, with which she continues to struggle.

The omens for the Swiss athletes are tense due to this series of injuries as they prepare for the upcoming competitions. With regard to the upcoming races in Beaver Creek, it remains to be seen which athletes will ultimately be able to start and how they will overcome the challenges.
