The 2021 double World Champion took part in the downhill training on Wednesday, but had to take a break on Thursday.
In the super-G on Friday, he only just missed out on bronze by five hundredths. Physically, he is "doing very well" and has got his knee under control. "I'll be honest, I've numbed it.
