Alarm confirmed for Vinatzer: there's a meniscal tear, "but I'll do everything to be there in Campiglio"

The fork in today's giant in Alta Badia cost the Val Gardena a damage to his right knee: "For Thursday's slalom we will decide only the previous day".

The confirmation comes from the federal press office and it is bad news for Italy in slalom, which risks losing its best specialist in the most eagerly awaited race, the 3Tre scheduled for Thursday evening in Madonna di Campiglio. Alex Vinatzer suffered damage to his right knee, crashing in the first heat of today's giant on the Gran Risa: a brutal fork, in a right-hand bend, which caused a small meniscal tear, with consequent edema in the joint . Visited at the SportClinic in Ortisei, the 23-year-old from Val Gardena under the supervision of the FISI Medical Commission underwent an MRI which highlighted this problem. "Vinny" will try for Campiglio, but times are clearly very tight: "I'll do my best to participate in Thursday's slalom, an appointment I really care about - said Alex - We'll only make a final decision the day before the race".
