Two weeks before the start of the women’s season, the Austrian team sends a surprise message: Eva Pinkelnig ruptured her spleen in a training accident in Seefeld. The overall third of the 2019/2020 World Cup had an emergency operation on Wednesday night just hours after the crash at LKH Innsbruck University Hospital. According to team doctor Peter Baumgartl (Head of Sports Medicine for Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined at the Austrian Ski Association), the emergency operation was fortunately successful.
The female head coach, Harald Rodlauer, described the course of the accident: “Eva trained on the small hill of Seefeld (HS 75, editor’s note). She was unlucky to land and ruptured her spleen. ” According to ÖSV, Vorarlberg’s wife was responsive and stable after the fall. “Fortunately, the emergency chain worked perfectly and Eva was operated on the same day,” Rodlauer reported.

When the two-time silver medalist at the 2019 Seefeld World Championships returns to training, it is currently fully open. “The most important thing now is that she is completely healthy again and then we will look further,” said Rodlauer, who recently witnessed her good performance in training and saw her “on a very good path” towards the opening of the World Cup on December 18. So the ÖSV team is missing the second best jumper from last season for the time being, with Jacqueline Seifriedsberger another athlete on her way back up the hill.
For Pinkelnig, who celebrated three World Cup victories last winter, it is already the third serious fall in her career, which actually started in the summer of 2014. In the fall of 2016, the 32-year-old fell out of her shoe. while training in Ramsau and suffered a severe concussion and bruising. Just a few weeks later, he had a similar accident on the great hill, which also spelled the end of the season and had long-term aftermath.
