“Makes no sense!” ÖSV lady misses home race
Bitter news from the ÖSV camp: Katharina Gallhuber will not be competing in her home slalom at Semmering on Sunday. The Lower Austrian has been forced to miss the World Cup competition due to knee problems that have persisted since mid-November and is taking a two-week break.

During my last training session, I simply realized that it didn't make sense because my knee just wasn't playing ball," said Gallhuber. This means she will miss her home race again this year after 2022.
"It already hurts a lot"
Her knee was already making itself felt before the World Cup in Levi (25th place) and she had tried everything to get it under control. "There were occasional glimmers of hope, but at the end of the day the result was swelling in the knee. I'm now trying to let it heal conservatively." The knee needs rest so that the inflammation can subside. "It really hurts not to be at my home World Cup, but my top priority now is to get back to 100 percent physical fitness," said the 27-year-old.
After Levi, she finished 16th in the other races of the season in Gurgl and was eliminated in the first run in Killington.
