Vice world champion at the 2017 World Championship, the 28-year-old Austrian suffered arthroscopy on his right knee already injured before the Olympics

That injury suffered in training at the Reiteralm, with the anterior crusader jumping a few weeks after the big five-circle event, stopped the rise of Roland Leitinger, who seemed ready to take flight after that silver medal of Sankt Moritz 2017, behind Marcel Hirscher.
The next two seasons were instead a semi-disaster for the Sankt Johann in Tirol native who, even in the return season, the one that ended last March, never found the sensations of the previous two years.
Less than a month ago, here is a new articulation intervention, although decidedly less invasive, for a restart that will be further complicated by the "relegation" in team B by the federal leaders. On the other hand, you know, in the Wunderteam house there are no discounts and the double 23rd place among the giants of Val d''Isere and Alta Badia, without even getting the call for the world championships of Are, is not enough for Leitinger to save the job.
"The important thing is to find the best condition and now I feel good - the words of Roland entrusted to the" Kurier "- I should be back on skis by the end of July, but first I still have a lot of work to do. Solden? It is the first objective, there is no doubt ".
