Simone Wild (30) has to take a forced break. The Zurich native tore the syndesmotic ligament in her left ankle during a training fall on December 15 in Pozza di Fassa (Italy) and will be out for several weeks.
Surgery is not necessary, but the healing phase takes four to six weeks, team doctor Walter O. Frey told Swiss Ski. “We will try to optimize the rehabilitation period so that Simone can race again this season.”
The Zuricher hopes so too, of course, because she finished in the points in three of the four giant slaloms this season (places 20, 22 and 25). She is trying to make the best of the situation and will do everything she can to ‘get back on skis as quickly as possible’. However, she imagined the holidays differently: “It’s definitely not the Christmas present I wanted.”
The delegation for the giant slalom in Lienz (Austria) on Thursday will therefore consist of seven athletes. In addition to team and World Cup leader Lara Gut-Behrami, Michelle Gisin, Andrea Ellenberger, Camille Rast, Mélanie Meillard, Stefanie Grob and Janine Schmitt are also at the start. (ch)
