Wednesday 9 October 2013 3 minutes reading time

A little more than two weeks from the giant Solden, Veronika Zuzulova Velez, Slovak slalom skier won two races in the World Cup, got injured knee falling during a training session of the Hintertux Glacier, on a stretch of slight slope. At the moment there is no precise information, but according to fisalpine.com is possible that the Slovak should also skip the whole season. In fact reached by telephone by Ana Jelusic FIS, Veronika said that "from the first MRI there seems to be an anterior cruciate ligament broken, but also remains some hope that it is not completely broken. So I'll have to wait for ' 'outcome of an'' other resonance. "So at the moment there are two possibilities, according to the Zuzulova:" If the crusader is completely gone, I will have surgery immediately and shall return next season, but if c '' is even a chance that the knee can still hold up, I'll skip the first races of the season, Solden and Levi, and then I will try to get back in time for the other. " Really a shame for Zuzulova, which celebrated last December, in Semmering, his first victory in the World Cup, in his beloved in slalom. But the moral is not under earth, in fact: "I'm not sad or upset - he concludes -.'' There is time for that.'m Focused only on finding the best solution that will allow me to return soon of skiing." ; Best of luck! Twitter: @ gianmilan76; @ newswintersport
