An incredible joke, on the eve of the first slalom of the season that he was waiting for like all his colleagues, and which he was unable to play due to an injury which later proved to be very serious.
Adrian Pertl will lose the entire 2021/22 season, practically stopped at the last gates of the 1st heat of a giant from Val d''Isère who was disputing in preparation for the next day's race, even if the 25-year-old Carinthian was also in that discipline he knows how to extricate himself well. A mocking fall and a terrible diagnosis, for the vice world champion in slalom: rupture of the anterior cruciate and the meniscus of the right knee.
Already on Sunday afternoon, the Austrian specialist was operated on at the Hochrum clinic in Innsbruck and the stop will be the canonical one, from 7 to 8 months: goodbye to the Olympics and the chance to play for the first victory in the World Cup, which now seemed ripe for a athlete who was already certain for the Wunderteam, alongside Schwarz, Feller, Matt and Gstrein.
