One hundred ninety-one days later. One hundred ninety-one days since that cursed 11 January 2020, when the second round of the giant Adelboden cost Manfred Moelgg to break the anterior cruciate ligament of his right knee.
Many spoke of a career at risk, if not already over, but the Maremma highlander never gave up and, from the first weeks of rehabilitation followed by the gym and a lot of bicycle, it was understood that "Manni" would try again.
In full swing with recovery times, today the blue champion put his skis back on his feet, in a free field in the heart of a Stelvio glacier which welcomed Moelgg even before the group restart that will take place in August, when Manfred should join the training with teammates. "Little to say, simply thank you - wrote the South Tyrolean slalomigigantist on social networks - After six months a feeling of happiness".
