Bad news for the ÖSV team: Tyrolean Sophia Waldauf has suffered a cruciate ligament and external meniscus tear in her left knee as well as a shoulder joint fracture in a fall during slalom training in Argentina. 

The 23-year-old will therefore be out for the entire 2024/25 season.

Surgery at home
As the ÖSV also announced on Monday, Waldauf will undergo knee surgery in her home country in the next few days.

The shoulder injury can be treated conservatively.
