Soelden loses a great protagonist: "pinched" in the knee, Brennsteiner forced to forfeit

In the top 5 in the last 3 giants of last season, the 31-year-old Austrian will have to remain in the pits for at least three weeks after the problem accused in training.

The Soelden opening loses an expected, great protagonist. Stefan Brennsteiner, in fact, will not start on Rettenbach, Sunday in the inaugural giant of the men's World Cup, due to an injury suffered in training. As reported by the OESV press office, this is not a serious knee problem, since no cartilage and cruciate injuries were found, but the classic "pinched" that will force the 1991 class to a stop around three weeks. Already quite unlucky in his career, the Wunderteam standard bearer had finished in an excellent way last season, finishing on the podium in Kranjska Gora and again a breath away from the top 3 in the final race in Méribel, so much so that he found himself one step away from the first merit sub-group. He will try to enter it with the December classics, returning at this point on 10 December to Val d''Isère, and then set off for the “double” the following week on the Gran Risa dell''Alta Badia.

Alla Gazzetta dello Sport, il direttore tecnico della nazionale femminile ha aggiunto qualche dettaglio sui motivi del rientro anticipato di Sofia dal Sudamerica, rinunciando al blocco in Cile che era previsto dopo quanto di buono fatto per due settimane abbondanti a Ushuaia specialmente sul gigante. Nelle prossime ore gli accertamenti medici: Non li abbiamo fatti in Argentina perchè non c'era la possibilità di approfondire al meglio.
