He gritted his teeth, even though his performance in the European Cup, after a splendid last year on the continental circuit, indicated evident suffering. Today Valentina Cillara Rossi has decided to explain what has happened in recent weeks, announcing the definitive interruption of her season; the 26-year-old from Liguria had touched the first top thirty of her career in the World Cup, on the occasion of the first giant of last Saturday in Kranjska Gora, but otherwise she was never at her level despite having had several chances in this first part of the season .
“I stop, harassed by knee pain for too many months - explained Valentina on social media - I tried every race to hold on, but maybe it wasn't the right choice. After another visit yesterday, I go back to the pits for 4 long months due to a strong bone edema and a cracking of the cartilage that only risk getting worse ”.
