St. Moritz, Schweiz - Elisabeth Reisinger, the talented speed specialist of the Austrian ski racing, has announced her resignation from the active competition. On social media, the 28-year-old announced that after many years in competitive sports and countless races, she ends her career. Her last competition took place in St. Moritz in December 2023, where she tore the cruciate ligament again. The resignation takes place after ten years in the World Cup, in which Reisinger experienced both great success and serious injuries.
In her career, Reisinger was able to achieve remarkable achievements in her career, including the gold medal in the team competition at the European Olympic Youth Festival 2013. She was also in the 2018/19 overall winner in the European Cup. Despite her success, she found that her path was not always easy; She spent more time with comebacks than on the slopes itself and fought against numerous injuries, including broken bones and cruciate ligament tears.risk of injury in ski racing
As a recently published study shows, injuries in skiing in the 2023/2024 season have increased significantly. Estimated 46,000 to 48,000 skiers had to be treated this season. Compared to the basic season 1979/80, this meant a decline of 52 percent, but a significant increase compared to the previous season. It is worrying that the risk of inpatient treatments remains stable at 1.73 per 1,000 skiers, which corresponds to around 7,200 to 7,300 inpatient treatments.
The increase in injury rates for knee, shoulder and upper arm injuries is particularly striking. The risk of knee injuries climbed from 2.70 to 3.01 per 1,000 skiers, while shoulder and upper arm injuries rose from 2.61 to 2.64 per 1,000 skiers. In addition, the risk of collision accidents that had already risen last year has increased. The proportion of collision violations in all skiing injuries is now 21 percent, which contributes to the question of the security situation in sport.
The return of Elisabeth Reisinger for ski racing is trembled, but her resignation also raises questions about the safety and health of athletes. The rapidly increasing trend of injuries, especially in a sport that is already known for its high susceptibility to injuries, ensures discussions about necessary security measures in skiing.
