At 37 years old and after an injury as serious as that suffered last Saturday in Adelboden, he rightly wants to take all the time necessary to make an assessment on the continuation or otherwise of his splendid career.
This is the choice of Manfred Moelgg, who spoke to the FISI press office for the first time after the reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee, carried out yesterday in Bressanone. The surgery has succeeded perfectly and the rehabilitation phase will begin soon. In what spirit? “The important thing for me now is that the knee heals at its best - explains the captain blue - This is not the time to think about the future, but only the present and to completely recover. In the next few weeks I will see how it goes and then I will make my personal evaluation which I will communicate to the media.
Now I just ask everyone to let me rest and continue to follow my teammates on the slopes. "
FISI President Flavio Roda also spoke of Moelgg's injury: “Manfred is the captain of our team and his absence will be felt. In terms of results he has always been very constant and in the upper parts of the rankings, even in the group he is an athlete who gives balance and tranquility. I hope he will recover as soon as possible. "
