Italjet loses for the rest of the season, and unfortunately it is an injury that will require a long recovery path, one of their best talents also in the World Cup perspective, which could have arrived soon for Monica Zanoner.
The '99 born sprinter destroyed her right knee, practically on the eve of her seasonal debut in the European Cup in Zinal, after waiting weeks between postponements and cancellations; the diagnosis came the same day, after the two super-gs staged on the Swiss snows in which Monica was unable to participate, and speaks of the rupture of the cruciate and tibial plateau. "It is incredible how everything can change in a few seconds - the message from the Fassana, bronze world champion in descent at the last junior world championships in Narvik - I had many plans and goals for this season that has not yet started (Zanoner had only participated in a few FIS and tests valid for the national championships in Switzerland and Austria, ed), unfortunately this is also skiing.
So many joys and satisfactions, but also disappointments, it's all part of the game. A piece of heart remained in Zinal, along with my cruciate and tibial plateau, but the desire and determination are still within me. Ready to face this new path, see you soon ".
