Stelvio cruel even with Klemen Kosi: right knee knocked out, the Slovenian sprinter raises the white flag

Falling on the jump of the Rocca in today's test, the 29-year-old from Maribor is hospitalized in Sondrio waiting to establish an operation and recovery times, but his season is over.

A cruel Stelvio, as could be expected from the most demanding and difficult track of the circuit (even more than the Streif, and how). The second test of the Bormio descent was decisive in the negative for Klemen Kosi's year, which practically ended on the Rocca jump: the Slovenian sprinter, in fact, fell violently and suffered serious damage to his right knee. Only official status is missing, after the first visit to the hospital in Sondrio, but Spela Pretnar herself, former athlete now spokesperson for the Slovenian federation, confirmed her fears to "siol.net". Crusader injury (to understand which other parts of the knee are involved), with surgery and recovery times to be fixed, but Kosi's season is now over. The same teammate Martin Cater had decided not to start, after all the difficulties suffered on Saturday in the first round, while the ''91 class of Maribor (a 7th in combined in Wengen in 2016 and three top ten in the World Cup such as best results so far) ended up knocked out, taken away by helicopter from a runway that, for him, was bitter even in 2018, when he fell in super-g with a fracture to his nose. This time it went much worse, after a start to the season which, between the fast races of Val d''Isère and Val Gardena, had not yet seen the Slovenian specialist take home points.
