New, very serious injury for Adrien Theaux: farewell to the Olympic season after a fall at Copper Mountain

The transalpine downhill skier, already operated on in Vail in the past few hours, broke his left elbow, tibia and right ankle. He returned last year after having destroyed the cruciate and tibial plateau and, at almost 38 years old, it will be very hard to restart even if with the World Cup at home in 2023 ...

Another blow for France, even more devastating for Adrien Theaux if we think about what has been passed in the last two years by the ''84 class sprinter from Val Thorens. A new very serious injury has happened to the transalpine downhill skier, yesterday in training at Copper Mountain when it was now just over a week before the first tests in Lake Louise. A fall cost a fracture to the left elbow, but above all to the tibia and ankle of the right leg; the French federsci has announced that Theaux has already been operated on in the night in Vail and, in a few days, he will return home but sees his season, which should have led him up to the Olympics, already concluded without even starting.
