Ricarda Haaser: Shock by cruciate ligament tear - season out!

Saalbach, Österreich - A shock for Austrian ski sports: Ricarda Haaser suffered a serious knee injury at the Super-G of the home world championship in Saalbach. The accident happened during her first trip in the Speed World Cup race on Thursday, when it came to the hospital after a jump and was suspected of an injury. The following MRI examination confirmed the worst fears-Haaser has torn the cruciate ligament and the inner meniscus in the right knee. This was reported by krone.at

The 31-year-old Tyrolean expressed emotionally about her fate and said in the program "Sport and Talk from Hangar 7": "I was very difficult to accept that." Your use now ends prematurely, and it will be operated on the same day in the Hochrum Clinic near Innsbruck. "I knew immediately that my cruciate ligament was torn," said Haaser, who, despite the setback, remains optimistic: "I can't change it anymore, and it gets better every day. I have the potential to drive podiums again." In its absence, the ÖSV team could build on their previous successes.
