He was experiencing the best season of his career, that of the final ascent worth, after that splendid descent on the Streif, the first call-up for the world championships.
And precisely in his debut in Cortina 2021, he who was also expected in the alpine combined, Florian Schieder was injured on that cursed diagonal after the Vertigo jump, which cost the probable gold medal to Dominik Paris. It was immediately understood that the cruciate of the left knee would not be saved: the first visit carried out by the FISI medical commission speaks of a suspected rupture of the cruciate ligament, pending a definitive diagnosis and recovery methods of the 25-year-old South Tyrolean, whose season is over anyway.
Riccardo Tonetti himself, a guest tonight at "Casa Italia Collection - FISI", spoke to Rai microphones, as well as his combined chances tomorrow ("I think I can be on the podium, even if anything can happen in dry races and there are two favorites ahead of everyone, Pinturault and Meillard ”), of what happened to his teammate. "I saw Florian before at the hotel, I'm also very sorry because he is a young man and we hope everyone can recover soon, he like the other guys injured in this unlucky season".
From Prast to Cazzaniga, from Bosca (back in Garmisch, as well as Casse) up to Schieder. Good luck guys.

Rulfi rassicura sulla situazione di Goggia: Non sentiva di potersi allenare, ma non c'è stato nulla di traumatico
Alla Gazzetta dello Sport, il direttore tecnico della nazionale femminile ha aggiunto qualche dettaglio sui motivi del rientro anticipato di Sofia dal Sudamerica, rinunciando al blocco in Cile che era previsto dopo quanto di buono fatto per due settimane abbondanti a Ushuaia specialmente sul gigante. Nelle prossime ore gli accertamenti medici: Non li abbiamo fatti in Argentina perchè non c'era la possibilità di approfondire al meglio.
