A very long stop, due to an injury that goes beyond the “simple” broken crusader. The recovery of Nina Ortlieb, as explained by the person concerned today, after the operation undergone to intervene on the right knee destroyed in the fall last Wednesday, on the occasion of the first test of the descent in Crans-Montana.
The 24-year-old native of Vorarlberg, in addition to the internal cruciate ligament, injured the internal ligament, the external meniscus and suffered damage to the patellar level. Right on the track where less than a year ago he obtained his first podium in CdM, and then won his first race a few days later, the super-g of La Thuile. "The first few days were tough, but I am happy that the first obstacle has now been overcome - tells the daughter of art to oesv.at - I am confident that I can go back to the top again, there is still a lot I want get and I know that too is possible.
Of course it is difficult to look forward after so many injuries, but these also give me the certainty of being able to return and precisely these memories and moments give me the strength and the confidence to be able to do it again this time. On Wednesday I will be able to go home so I will continue to work to reduce the swelling by doing more movement with the knee and thus increasing the carrying capacity. After the stitches have been removed, I will begin the work in the water and in 6-8 weeks I will have another small operation.
Recovery times to get back on skis? We talk about 8-9 months to get back on the snow calmly and, if all goes well, Dr. Christian Schenk gave me a 12 month period to be able to compete. I am confident of being able to compete in the race to the maximum, with the physical and mental capacity to attack at 100%; the big goal for next year is to fight for an Olympic medal ”.
