Season already over
Automatically saved draft
The next serious injury in the Ski World Cup: German Alexander Schmid, who secured the gold medal in the parallel race at the 2023 World Championships in Courchevel/Meribel, tore his cruciate ligament in a fall. This means his season is already over.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen According to the DSV, Alexander Schmid was injured in a fall during giant slalom training on Thursday. The bitter diagnosis: a complex knee injury with a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and injuries to the menisci in his left knee. The 30-year-old has already undergone surgery.
"The operation went well and without complications," says DSV team doctor and knee specialist Manuel Köhne. "Alex will probably undergo a few more days of inpatient physiotherapy before he can start his initial rehabilitation measures."
Left knee again
Bad news for the German, who had already suffered a cruciate ligament rupture in the same knee in 2023. "Assuming a favorable healing process, snow training will be possible again in around eight months," says Köhne. The technical specialist will therefore also miss the World Championships in Saalbach-Hinterglemm in February.
