The same situation happened to Christina Ager, but also to other colleagues like Stephanie Brunner in the summer, and a reflection that perhaps should be made on recovery times and accident management.
Yes, because what really happened to Ragnhild Mowinckel, one of the most anticipated women in the white circus, is truly resounding: the return of the vice Olympic champion of descent was expected within a few weeks, probably directly in January, after having put the skis back to the first of October following the long recovery from the Crusader crash and the meniscus of his right knee, suffered last March at the World Cup finals in Soldeu.
Well, the Norwegian federation has announced that the 27-year-old from Molde has again been injured at the same knee, injuring the crusader again in recent days in training; in reality, Mowinckel had not even noticed the gravity of the situation, but the examinations carried out in the last hours revealed a very bitter verdict.
Operation scheduled for the first few days of December, as announced by the national team doctor, Marc Strauss, and the season ended before it began: "It is unrealistic news, as I prepared to be competitive after so many months of work - the words of the same Mowinckel - I will lose the season and I will have to face a new period of sweat and tears, but I am determined to return from where I had interrupted ".
