Bernadette Schild is back on the ground: 14 months after Soelden, the left knee crusader crashes

The Salzburg slalomist was injured today in a slalom training session at Reiteralm: the other knee involved, compared to the crash of October 2019. Season over and goodbye World Cup.

Back on the ground, just fourteen months after the previous one, an equally serious injury to the cruciate, albeit to the right knee. At home Austria the sequence is really impressive and this time it again involves Bernadette Schild, who had already ended up knocked out in the opening giant of Soelden on 26 October 2019, losing the entire last season. After returning a couple of months ago, right in the opening on the Rettenbach (without qualifying), finding the first points in Levi's second slalom with a 20th place, the thirty-year-old from Salzburg was preparing for the third round of the season between the narrow poles , on Tuesday in Semmering, also passing from the European Cup where he had obtained an 11th place in race number 2 in Valle Aurina (he had come out in the first). Today in Reiteralm, during the last real pre-competition training in slalom, Schild suffered the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and a meniscus injury, as well as a bone contusion, of the left knee. She has already been operated on in the afternoon in Innsbruck and, of course, the season in which she would go hunting for the call-up for the world championships in Cortina is already over for her. With a new long path of recovery to face.
