Marco Odermatt will have to stay in the pits for at least a month, but the news is that the Swiss champion could try to return for the February races, given that the injury remedied on Sunday in the giant's 2nd round in Alta Badia is less serious than the expected.
For the Swiss '97 class, this is a rupture of the external meniscus of the right knee, already operated in arthroscopy in the afternoon today at the university clinic in Zurich, after the resonance performed in the previous hours that had averted further joint problems.
Odermatt will already leave the hospital on Tuesday to begin rehabilitation: "With his physique and great character, Marco will be able to make an optimal and quick recovery," said Swiss-Ski doctor Walter O Frey.

La velocista valdostana ha ufficialmente salutato l'agonismo, lei che era rientrata a livello FIS nell'ultimo inverno, dopo oltre due anni e mezzo ai box, causa i guai alle ginocchia, da quel 2023 che le aveva inizialmente regalato il podio in super-g ai campionati del mondo juniores di St. Anton, dove fu pure 5^ in discesa.
