The transalpine, great favorite in combined, finished out in the slalom trying to make a comeback: we are talking about subluxation, the giant is in only three days. "There shouldn't be any damage to the ligaments, but it could be better ...".

In addition to the damage, or rather the exit costing the run-up to a medal that is still very difficult in “his” combination, also the mockery of an injury that could compromise the rest of Alexis Pinturault's Olympics.
Falling in the slalom heat where he was trying to climb from eleventh position, after a decidedly negative descent, the transalpine champion felt pain in his right shoulder, even if only the exams in the next few hours will make it easier to understand the possibilities of recovering for the giant on Sunday 13 and the slalom three days later.
Pinturault spoke to "Ski Chrono" about his physical problem. "I think it is not a dramatic situation, I would feel it and I could not do anything with my shoulder, but it could be much better - explains the World Cup holder - I fell on my elbow and I felt a" crack "in my shoulder". French federation doctor Stéphane Bulle indicated a subluxation of the joint, but there should be no damage to the ligaments. How conditioned Alexis may be in skiing to be able to compete at his highest level, especially in giant leagues, he will discover only by returning to the track.
