During the women's descent of the Austrian junior championships, obviously open also to the seniors, serious injury to Stephanie Brunner.
Tuesday 20 March 2018 2 minutes reading time
The 24 year old from Tyrol did not even fall but she immediately realized that something was wrong and in fact the diagnosis communicated by the Austrian federsci was pitiless: rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and the meniscus of the left knee. The unfortunate Tux athlete will be operated tonight in Innsbruck.
This year Brunner has been seven times in the top ten in World Cup races distributed in four different specialties and was twice fourth, in Sölden and Killington, in giant, in whose final standings was placed sixth, she still misses the podium.
Given that recovery times are at least six months, we will hardly see them on track in the first seasonal races, especially in the giant on the Rettenbach where it was also fourth in 2016.
