Drama in skiing: Danklmaier and Tande - knee injuries shock!

Gröden, Italien - Bitter messages overshadow the winter sports scene! Two athletes suffered heavy falls that could affect their careers. In Val Gardena, the Super-G was the accident of Austria's Daniel Danklmaier. The 31-year-old, who had only difficult his return after several injuries, fell down when driving with start number 18 and could have suffered a serious knee injury. Although he was able to drive to the edge of the route after the fall, the first medical assessments show a suspicion of a violation of the right knee, which could seriously endanger his return to the competition. The ÖSV has already organized a return to Innsbruck to examine it thoroughly, reported laola1.at .

The fall that could change everything

The case of Norwegian Daniel Andre Tande, who was injured in the qualification of the Polski tour in Zakopane, was even more dramatic. The Olympic champion and former ski flight world champion landed roughly after a jump and twisted badly. The suspicion of a cruciate ligament rupture could already mean the seasonal season for Tande after being in artificial coma in 2021 after a severe fall in Planica. This adds another chapter on his painful history of injury. While the fall for tande is extremely bitter, his compatriot and World Cup leader, Stefan Kraft, consolidated his dominance with a daily pest of 140 meters. In addition, Andreas Wellinger shows himself in an excellent form and, after a successful leap, shows second place, such as n-tv.de reported.
