No snow in Vermont
ÖSV lady back in Killington after knee surgery
On Saturday, the women will be competing in their second World Cup giant slalom of the season in Killington. However, as there is almost no snow in the US state of Vermont away from the race course, the arrival will take place at very short notice. Elisabeth Kappaurer is also making her comeback after knee surgery, but will not be flying to America until Thursday.
On October 7, Elisabeth Kappaurer suffered a cartilage injury in her left knee in a fall in Sölden, which required surgery and made a start at the World Cup opening impossible. However, after getting back on skis for the first time on November 6th and completing great training days in Hippach over the last few weeks, she is now ready to go in time for the giant slalom on Saturday in Killington (US).
Training with the "young guns"
"Of course there is still pain. But my skiing is not affected," reveals the 30-year-old, who recently trained with the European Cup group led by Victoria Olivier and Angelina Salzgeber under the supervision of ÖSV coach Meini Tatschl.
No snow in Killington
One last giant slalom session awaits her in Zillertal today before "Lisi" jets from Munich to Montreal (Canada) on Thursday and covers the remaining 300 kilometers in a rental car. "As there is no snow to train on in Killington away from the race track, it wouldn't have made sense to arrive earlier," explains the "head pilot", whose best result to date in the ski resort in the US state of Vermont is 14th place from November 2017.
