A talent who has to deal with two very heavy stops, at just 18 years old.
For the second time, Rosa Pohjolainen broke her cruciate ligament in her knee: the accident in recent days in training, yesterday the announcement of the 2003 Finnish class through social media, with so much anger and frustration given that, after the crash in January 2021, the slalomist (but with prospects that extend to the giant and beyond) had returned very well this season, immediately with points in "her" Levi, where in November 2020 she had captured the first top 30 in the World Cup, before entering the top 15 in Schladming (14th place) and competing in his first Olympics.
In addition, Rosa finished sixth in the combined Junior World Championships in Panorama, seventh instead in slalom, a specialty in which she won gold at the recent EYOF on her home snow, in Vuokatti.
