It could have all gone ... well.
Marco Odermatt, who injured his right knee today during the giant's 2nd round on the Gran Risa, immediately left Alta Badia (obviously he didn't even sign up for tomorrow's parallel giant) for a first visit to the hospital in Brunico, but only in the next few hours will the exact damage to the joint be known.
Filter optimism from home Switzerland: a problem with the crusader should be averted, with the injury that could only concern the meniscus. The decisive visit on Monday, while the 22-year-old winner of the Beaver Creek super-g at RSI, today fifth and with the great chance of the first giant victory that had already seemed very close, explained what happened.
“I suffered a knock on the wall against a door. I immediately felt severe knee pain, "said Odermatt, then trying to calm his fans on social networks by announcing news soon.

Durissime le loro parole nei confronti della Federazione e in generale dell'ambiente, solo la Guardia di Finanza ci è stata vicina. Oggi il corpo militare del quale faceva parte il velocista ligure gli ha intitolato una sala del museo a Predazzo.
