A few days from Soelden, Austria loses Lahnsteiner: crusader knocked out for the winner of the European Cup

Crac on the left knee, yesterday in training on the snows of Val Senales, for the 25 year old ready for his first full season in the World Cup. Farewell to all dreams.

Austria loses the winner of the last European Cup for the entire Olympic year, with a fixed seat guaranteed for what would have been their first adventure in the World Cup, after the debut in the Saalbach descent of the last March (closed with a punticino among other things). Maximilian Lahnsteiner, in fact, broke the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee on Wednesday in the last real training session held in Val Senales before the opening in Soelden, as announced this morning by the OESV press office; a year already over for the 25 year old native of Upper Austria, among the 10 athletes who would have participated in the giant on Sunday on the Rettenbach, which would have been the second race in the maximum circuit for Lahnsteiner.
