No miracle for Justin Murisier: the 30-year-old from Valais officially renounces the opening

No opening for the Swiss specialist, who attempted a record recovery by returning to the snow fifteen days after the operation for the herniated disc that hit him. "It's still too early to compete and I'm a little disappointed, but at the same time happy with my body's reaction." North American super-g goal.

Justin Murisier definitively raises the white flag and renounces the opening of the World Cup in Soelden. On Sunday on the Rettenbach we will not see the 30-year-old rossocrociaro, as the person concerned announced this afternoon through the Swiss-Ski channels: in the last few days, in fact, the possibility had emerged that the Valaisan could manage to participate in the inaugural giant, even if operated only last October 3 of a herniated disc, after having "stuck" with the calf in the last training sessions in Chile. Murisier was back on track already in the middle of the week, dreaming of being able to take part in the great challenge in Soelden, but "my leg still lacks a bit of strength - admitted the red-cross specialist - I am a bit disappointed and at the time same satisfied with the progress made, because being back on track 15 days after surgery means that my body is recovering very quickly. Today I decided for the forfeit, it is still too early to compete, but after other therapies, now that I will return home, I will be able to proceed with the original program ”. Murisier should therefore join his teammates towards North America, with the possibility of taking part in the three super-gs scheduled between Lake Louise and Beaver Creek, before the second giant of the season, the Swiss's true goal, which will take place on December 10 in Val d''Isère.
