This is what emerged from the examinations to which the 25 year-old of the Canton Obwalden was subjected after her return to Switzerland and which was communicated by Swiss Ski. There are several options for treating this injury. After consulting her attending physician, Michelle decided to focus on the method of care with which the best and most sustainable chances of success are associated in the long term. An operation is scheduled for the next few days, so his season ends here.
"It certainly hurts to end the season ahead of schedule, but I am also aware of the fact that over the last eight years I have not had serious injuries that required surgery - says Gisin - I was able to have many experiences and I was lucky enough to to be healthy in much more decisive moments, so it is not very difficult for me to accept this injury and see the opportunity to gain some time and peace ".
