Bad news after the operation: everything is much worse: the injured Austrian is unlucky

Big bad luck for speed specialist Elisabeth Reisinger (27)! The Austrian suffered a serious fall during the descent in St. Moritz in December. Diagnosis: cruciate ligament tear. For the third time in her career. This means that the early end of the season is certain, as she herself confirmed on Instagram after the operation.

But for Reisinger, who has finished in the top 10 of the World Cup five times so far, this procedure came with the next shock. “During the operation it became clear that both menisci were injured and part of the tibial head was broken off,” she is quoted by the Kronen Zeitung. On Monday she had to go under the knife for the second time.

At least: the second operation also went well and Reisinger was able to leave the hospital in Salzburg on Thursday. “At first I was sad and grumpy at myself that it happened. “But now that the operations went well and we are organizing daily rehabilitation again, things are getting better,” she announces.

Already the fourth Christmas injury

Curious: Reisinger suffered serious injuries again and again during the Christmas period. In 2014 she suffered an open fracture of the tibia and fibula. In 2016, the cruciate ligament in his left knee tore during a glacier training session. In 2020, the cruciate ligament in his left knee broke again in Crans Montana. And in 2023 in St. Moritz, finally those in the right knee, including the meniscus and the tibial head. Great gift! (sbe)
