A lion who wants to roar in record time. On December 22, the meniscus of his right knee was injured in the giant's 2nd run on the Gran Risa, a few hours later he was under the knife for the surgery. Twenty-four days after the crash in Alta Badia, Marco Odermatt has already returned to skiing, yesterday on the snow of Engelberg; the Swiss phenomenon was very satisfied with its first outing and the goal is confirmed. Entering the race no less than in the super-g of Friday 24 January in Kitzbuehel: "Yes, I want to try to be on the Streif - Odermatt confessed to SRF Sport - The feeling on skis is the right one, then it is clear that there is a difference between skiing here with ease or facing the Streif ". If the news relating to the 22-year-old Nidvaldese is therefore very good, the Switzerland of speed has lost Urs Kryenbuehl in the first training of the Wengen descent; as previously reported, the 25-year-old second in Bormio had pain in his right foot and, after further ankle tests in the university clinic of Zurich, lesions of the tibio-peroneal syndesmosis emerged that do not require surgery but make uncertain recovery time, although hope is to review Kryenbuehl by the end of the season. The injury to Marco Kohler is much more serious: for the young man of team C, who is the forerunner in the test on the Lauberhorn, the stop will be very long since the damage to the knee concerns the breaking of the anterior cruciate, in addition to that of the patellar tendon and the ligament and internal meniscus.
