A joy after 13 months of darkness, from that day in which a career in great ascent was interrupted, with a terrible flight and the right knee literally destroyed, not only at the level of the crusaders but also of patellar injury.
Nina Ortlieb, right on the same track as Mont Lachaux in Crans-Montana, will wear a bib again in the World Cup, even if only for the tests of the descents scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. The daughter of art will then test herself on Thursday and Friday, after putting her skis back on just a few weeks ago, with almost a year of complete stop since January 20, 2021. "Even if only for the tests, I'm so excited", she let Nina know on social media.
For a new-found athlete, Austria loses another as Elisa Moerzinger's season, very good in the European Cup with the recent victory in the giant Kopaonik, ended prematurely due to an accident in training costing a small tibial fracture and an injury to the syndesmotic ligament of the left ankle. Fortunately, at least surgery won't be necessary.
Meanwhile, Switzerland has announced the 12 athletes called up for the home stage in Crans-Montana: there will be internal selection in testing, with some certainties of course such as the new Olympic champion Corinne Suter, Lara Gut-Behrami who won here twice. downhill in 2020, Michelle Gisin (who eventually decided to be there), as well as Jasmine Flury, Joana Haehlen and, in the long list, we find Priska Nufer, Jasmina Suter, Juliana Suter, Noemie Kolly, Katja Grossmann, Nathalie Grobli and Stephanie Jenal.
