The promising Austrian Vorarlberg collapsed and fractured tibia and fibula in the left leg. She was immediately transported to the Visp hospital in the canton of Valais, where she was successfully operated. Bezau athlete, who in two days will turn 24 (really a bad birthday!) Will remain in hospital for a few days and then return home and face a long rehabilitation waiting to return to the races maybe already at the end of the season that it is going to start.
Kappaurer last season had been stuck for just over a month due to the fracture of four metacarpal bones of the left hand on the final jump of the test of the Altenmarkt-Zauchensee Women's World Cup downhill in mid-January. So far in the European Cup he won a giant at San Candido on March 17, 2017 placing third in the classification of specialties, while in the major circuit was eleventh in the combined Crans-Montana of February 24, 2017.
