Bitter news
Automatically saved draft
Olympic slalom champion and former giant slalom world champion Petra Vlhova has canceled her participation in the Alpine World Ski Championships in Saalbach in February. The Slovakian will not be fit in time following a cruciate ligament rupture.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Vlhova has lost the battle against time, as her coach Mauro Pini explained in a statement from the athlete's management. The 29-year-old is now focusing on the Olympic Games in a year's time with the races in Cortina d'Ampezzo.
Vlhova's rehabilitation was going in the right direction, but the setbacks suffered in December and January would prevent her from taking part in the World Championships, said Pini. The 2021 overall World Cup winner suffered a torn cruciate ligament and torn medial collateral ligament at her home race in Jasna exactly one year ago.
Guesswork surrounding Shiffrin
It is still unclear whether Vlhova's long-time US rival and seven-time world champion Mikaela Shiffrin will be fit in time after the injury she suffered in December during the giant slalom in Killington.
