Today’s training at the Reiteralm did not have a positive ending for Bernadette Schild, who injured her left knee during a slalom session. An MRI exam in Innsbruck diagnosed an anterior cruciate ligament and a meniscus tear, as well as a bruise to the bones. The Salzburg resident has already had surgery at the Kettenbrücke sanatorium in Innsbruck. This was the second cruciate ligament tear in 14 months for Bernadette Schild. In October 2019, Bernadette Schild tore her ACL in the first World Cup match in Sölden and thus missed the entire 2019-20 season.
The streak of bad luck for Austrian alpine skiing women does not end. Shortly before the Christmas holidays, Schmidhofer suffered a complex knee injury in a serious crash on the downhill at Val d’Isère.
Anna Swenn Larsson underwent a successful operation shortly before Christmas after breaking her ankle during training. His injury will definitely prevent him from starting the Cortina World Cup in February. “The injury is such that if Anna starts too early and suffers a new break, it would pose a risk to her future career,” said Swedish national team doctor Jakob Swanberg.
Setbacks came one after another for Anna Swenn Larsson this season. The first was the quarantine in Finland due to Covid-19. Then he got infected and had to stay home from the camps in Europe. He was only able to train there for a few days before threading a pole so hard he suffered a broken ankle.
