A new sudden braking, the second of a career that many indicated as that of a predestined one, but which has to deal again with bad luck. Aline Danioth was seriously injured, today in the parallel giant of Sestriere who before had seen her eliminate none other than Petra Vlhova in the round of 32, then saw her stop in the eighth with Federica Brignone: in the dry run with the Valle d'Aosta, halfway through the 21-year-old Helvetic tried to cut the line to recover the disadvantage, flying in the air with a twist of the right knee that had already feared the worst. In the evening, the very bitter verdict after the specialist visit to the Balgrist university clinic in Zurich, reference center of the Swiss national team: rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee, with injury to the internal and external meniscus. Season over (Monday will be operated) and above all a new long recovery path that will await Aline, just after finding her size following the other serious injury suffered two years ago, when the crusader of the left knee was injured. Combined junior world champion in 2016 and 2018, Danioth had started the slalom season very well, with the best results of his career in the World Cup between Lienz (7th) and Zagreb (8th). Now, it's all over again.
