In recent days he met fellow national Sejersted, Braathen and McGrath, already at work in the gym to get back on skis as soon as possible. Kajsa Vickhoff Lie will have to wait a few more months, with the possibility of making it by the end of summer-early autumn as planned by the medical staff of the national team (who had spoken of 6 months) immediately after his terrible accident on February 28 in the super-g World Cup at Passo San Pellegrino, but now the real recovery of the 98 class sprinter can begin this year for the first time on the podium, with 2nd place in the first super-g in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
A month after that day of the fall in Val di Fassa, Kajsa updated on his physical condition, after having also undergone dental surgery. “As you know, I broke the tibia and fibula in my leg, but the compression fracture in my tibia also caused damage to the meniscus. So a piece of bone was removed from the hip to "sew"; after three weeks from the surgery, some bone fragments were found below the knee, which prevented me from straightening my leg.
So I underwent another small operation to remove them and now two months of hard work with rehabilitation await me ”. We will then begin to "load", between the gym and the athletic part, before finally returning to the snow.
