"Even if it sounds strange - but I'm used to skiing with pain," admits Elisabeth Kappaurer from Vorarlberg, who has been set back by countless injuries in her career, but has always pulled herself together and made her way back. The 30-year-old wants to do the same now.

After the Bezau native had an unfortunate fall during training in Sölden on October 7, she underwent surgery on her left knee two days later by doctor Christian Fink.
