Broken knee: Wengen crash victim celebrates comeback
Good news from the Swiss ski team: Marco Kohler, who suffered a serious injury in Wengen in January, should be celebrating his comeback in Beaver Creek this weekend.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The 27-year-old fell at around 140 km/h on the shortened downhill run on the Lauberhorn in Hanneggschuss on January 11 and had to be taken to hospital by helicopter. He suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and inner meniscus in his right knee. It was his second serious injury following a total loss of his left knee four years previously.
In the weeks before the fateful crash in Wengen, Kohler had been showing off in the World Cup, celebrating his first top 10 results.
Odermatt's best friend in the ski team
Kohler is dominator Marco Odermatt's best friend in the Swiss ski team. The two have been racing together since their youth and their families are very close. "It's an extreme shame. I would have liked to have won with different emotions," Odermatt, who won the shortened downhill in Wengen in January, said after the race, totally shocked.
Kohler fought his way back and is now in the Swiss line-up for the downhill (Friday) and super-G (Saturday) in Beaver Creek. So there is a good chance that the unlucky man from Wengen will be celebrating his comeback in a few days' time.
