It's a truly nightmare 2020 for Mattias Roenngren, one of Sweden's emerging talents who, after also losing Matts Olsson, who announced his farewell to competition at the end of last season, will lose for the start of the 2020/21 World Cup also the 26 year old who revealed himself with the 6th place in the parallel giant last December in Alta Badia.
After that result on the night of the Gran Risa and a decent points finish in Adelboden (22nd), Roenngren had injured himself in late January during a training session on the "Aloch" of Pozza di Fassa. Concussion and a knee collateral problem advised the early stop of the season, but now there is a further injury to slow the recovery of the Swedish gigantist.
As SVT reports, through the testimony of the Scandinavian national doctor Jakob Swanberg, the ''93 class of Are had to operate due to a complex shoulder injury, among other things that did not emerge immediately but only after having accused pain in the ''articulation. A couple of weeks ago it was decided for the intervention, which will force Roenngren to stay away from the slopes for at least a few months, so as to already exclude his presence for the opening of Soelden, with the male giant scheduled for Sunday 25 October.
