Comeback postponed

Injury, family drama: Holdener ends season

Wendy Holdener will not return to the Alpine Ski World Cup until next winter. The 30-year-old Swiss skier is ending her season prematurely after suffering an ankle injury in December, as was announced on Tuesday.

Holdener had originally planned to make her comeback next weekend in Aare.

Several factors played a role in her decision, head coach Beat Tschuor told SRF. On the one hand, the difficult personal situation - her brother died of cancer in February. On the other hand, the healing process, which is not quite so far advanced.

Serious fall in training
Holdener suffered a fracture to her left ankle during training in Pozza di Fassa in Trentino in December and had to undergo surgery.
