Kiira Korpi avoided surgery for

The medical examinations which Kiira Korpi has undergone over the past few days have given partially successful.

From what has been learned through the same Finnish skater, in fact, you will not need the surgery to the Achilles tendon in his left foot, injured a couple of weeks ago during a training session. Nevertheless, the rehabilitation phase is announced very long and tiring. Confirmed, in any case, the first diagnosis was talking about partial tear. Because of the accident, Korpi can not take part in the Nebelhorn Trophy in Oberstdorf, which will open its doors on Thursday, and could not participate in the two stages of Grand Prix allocated to it. A Skate Canada, held in St. John (New Brunswick), will be replaced by the Ukrainian Natalia Popova, while it is not yet known the name of the athlete who will take over the pupil of Rafael Arutyunyan Trophée Eric Bomphard Paris. The goal, however, that passes through the hope that the upcoming trial concludes Juulia Turkkila Olympic qualifying in the top six, is still to join the race of Sochi. The return in the race could take place during the Finnish National leagues or, more likely, to coincide with the European Championships in Budapest

Il Nebelhorn Trophy verrà trasmesso in diretta e in esclusiva dal network satellitare Eurosport (canali 211 e 212 della piattaforma SKY).
