Bitter news for Alexander Schmid.

Alexander Schmid’s season ends on a downer. The German tore the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee during a giant slalom training in Kranjska Gora on Wednesday morning.

The 28-year-old underwent surgery on the same day in Munich. Just a few weeks ago, the 28-year-old won the gold medal in the parallel race at the World Championships in Courchevel/Meribel.

“The injury and the loss that comes with it, especially after the successful World Cup, is extremely annoying. Now it’s time to look ahead. I will work hard and concentrate to be fit again as soon as possible.” Schmid is combative. In all likelihood, the technique specialist will be back on skis in time at the start of next season.
