The 2022/23 season of Inni Holm Wembstad ended with last Saturday's crash in Sankt Moritz.
Born in 2000, the young Scandinavian sprinter ended up on the ground, landing from the last jump in the second downhill of the weekend in Switzerland. The damage didn't look too serious, but after a series of tests, the Norwegian federation said Wembstad suffered a partial tear to the cruciate ligament in his left knee, which stretched but does not require surgery.
The return on skis is expected at the end of March, for a period of about 3 months, and it's a real shame for a girl, in fact the second most interesting young woman in Norge speed together with Kajsa Vickhoff Lie, who instead returned right to the he start of this season after the terrible injury sustained in Val di Fassa.
Wembstad, in fact, was experiencing its first year since the beginning in CdM, after making its debut last February in Crans-Montana, just a few days after the first success obtained in the European Cup in the same Swiss location: 6 tokens in the top circuit, still no points between the triptych of Lake Louise and precisely the two descents held in Sankt Moritz. "It's frustrating to miss the rest of the season, but I can't wait to have the chance to start work for the 2023/24 season - Inni Holm's words via the norge federation - We hope that the pit period will not is so long, the goal is that he will be able to compete when the next World Cup season begins”.
