Unbelievable bad luck
After 4 cruciate ligament ruptures: Broken ankle for ski star!
Unbelievable, but true: at just 25 years of age, ski hopeful Storm Klomhaus has suffered a serious injury for the fifth time! The US-American, who has already suffered four (!) cruciate ligament ruptures in the course of her career, suffered a broken ankle at the training camp in Saas-Fee, Switzerland, and is now out for a long time once again ...
As Klomhaus announced via Instagram, including a photo of herself with her leg in plaster, she unfortunately crossed her ski tips during a training run "and broke my ankle in the process. But I'm glad that my knees weren't affected". Now she has to return to the USA to have an operation in a hospital there ...
Last cruciate ligament rupture during training in Beaver Creek
And the technical specialist, who has already competed in two World Cup races despite her bad luck with injuries, is all too familiar with hospitals. Just last December, Klomhaus suffered her fourth cruciate ligament rupture to date during training in Beaver Creek.
"It takes a lot more to stop you!"
Even then, she had only just returned from rehabilitation following a serious knee injury that had kept her off the world's ski slopes for two years. Already at her side as a supporter back then: multiple junior ski Olympian River Radamus, Klomhaus' boyfriend.
It is safe to assume that his encouragement from back then still applies today: "It takes a hell of a lot, lot more to stop you."
