The 2000 class, excellent protagonist in the second part of last season, fell in a downhill training on the Chilean snows. Already operated, hopefully a return within a few weeks.

A mangy injury, albeit not too serious, but arrived in the crucial phase of preparation.
Alix Wilkinson has to stop, hoping not to miss the “Speed Opening” which on 5-6 November, on the Gran Becca in Zermatt / Cervinia, will open the World Cup speed season for girls as well.
The 22-year-old American, who grew dramatically in 2021/22, to the point of winning an Olympic pass after the first points in the maximum circuit, with an 18th and a 24th place between Cortina and Garmisch (and frightening partials in some stretches of passage ), fell during a downhill training in Portillo, where the stars and stripes team is working.
Training camp closed early for Wilkinson, who suffered a fractured ankle as he revealed on social media: "I thank Dr. Beals and all those who helped me, I've already been operated on and I'll be back in no time", the words by Alix.
