After Nicole Schmidhofer, just over a month ago in Val d''Isère, another devastating blow for the Austrian women's speed team.
The diagnosis that was feared, if not worse, regarding Nina Ortlieb came from the OESV home: falling today in the opening training towards the Crans-Montana descents, the '' 96 native class of Vorarlberg literally destroyed his right knee. Transported by helicopter to Sion, Patrick's daughter has remedied, in addition to the "classic" rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, that of the internal lateral ligament, the external meniscus and a patellar injury.
Nina was on the podium for the first time in the World Cup right on Mont Lachaux, 11 months ago with a third place downhill, the week before winning the super-g in La Thuile. Her start to the season had already been conditioned by a small injury at the end of November in training, then the two outings of St. Anton (without consequences) and, today, the fall that will cost her a very long stop.
The Wunderteam sprinter will be operated on in the coming days in Schruns by Dr. Christian Schenk.
