Cartilage problems
Vlhova: Quick comeback? “I don’t feel well”
Olympic slalom champion Petra Vlhova will not return to the Ski World Cup until February at the earliest. As the Slovakian said as a popular onlooker at the Semmering slalom, her injured right knee is still causing her problems.
"I sometimes have pain and feel unwell," said Vlhova in view of cartilage problems. "I still need time to regain my strength, because I've basically lost everything."
Vlhova tore her cruciate and medial ligaments at her home race in Jasna on January 20. Her long injury break is mentally challenging for the 29-year-old. "It's an up and down, a difficult time. I try to stay positive." Her goal is to be back in the starting gate as soon as possible, but she doesn't want to rush things: "It doesn't sound perfect, but I'm less worried about skiing at the moment than about my knee. Health is the most important thing, even after my career."
