Italy loses another important piece in the mosaic of the speed team.
Dominik Paris and Christof Innerhofer found "full time", the first blow came in November with the injury of Mattia Casse, who after having remedied a fracture in the talus of the foot, will try in every way to make it for the World Cup of Cortina. The season, on the other hand, is certainly over for Alexander Prast, who crashed badly yesterday in the final of the super-g in Val d''Isère.
The 24-year-old South Tyrolean, just this season with a permanent position in the discipline after finishing in 2nd place in the specialty ranking in the 2019/2020 European Cup, had remedied a bad blow to the head, excluding however problems from this point of view, with the tests that had given negative results, but it was the right knee that worried after suffering a bruise and above all a major sprain.
Today the result, very bitter, as told by one of the national team technicians who closely follows Prast, or the expert Raimund Plancker: "Everything that could break in the knee ... broke - has explained the South Tyrolean coach in the interview granted to "sportnews.bz" - The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are torn, as well as the collateral and there is also a meniscus injury ".
Operation in these hours and stop for at least six months. “It's a shame, Ale had integrated well into the World Cup group and was training well, with good times,” added Plancker.
