The "Bild" reports a sensational indiscretion regarding one of the strongest downhill skiers in the world: an intervention is ready on Thursday in Munich, after the early return from Colorado where he was training.

There is no confirmation from the German federation itself, but the news is a real bomb dropped by a reference newspaper such as "Bild".
Germany risks losing their reference man for at least a good part of the season, even more so after having already greeted Viktoria Rebensburg who retired at the end of the summer; Thomas Dressen, in fact, would have suffered a hip injury, returning early from Colorado where, together with his teammates who played in the FIS Copper Mountain races also valid for the US championships, he was preparing his debut in the World Cup. World expected with the opening weekend of speed, December 12-13 in Val d''Isère.
It would be a bone fragment to be removed, with a surgery scheduled for Thursday in Munich, the problem that hit one of the circuit's reference skiers; only after the operation will it be understood what recovery times will be necessary for Dressen (who turned 27 just a couple of days ago), last year winner of three World Cup descents, with the amazing return to Lake Louise ( burning for two cents Dominik Paris) in the first post-injury race of Beaver Creek 2018, when the Bavarian giant injured his shoulder and, above all, his right knee crusader in his season following the explosion that occurred with the triumph of the previous January in Kitzbuehel.
Despite a stop between the two runs in Bormio, to manage the knee that had swollen, Dressen then won in 2020 also at home in Garmisch and finally in Saalbach, finishing in 2nd place in the specialty ranking behind Beat Feuz.
