Last year, the 33-year-old Frenchman of Le Grand Bornand was injured in the thigh during the summer's preparations and then, due to back problems, was forced to skip the whole season. A few weeks ago she skipped the skis on the European glaciers and then flew to Chile but during training at La Parva the thigh pain came back and Mermillod-Blondin came home. Today the announcement of the operation on his Facebook page: tenotomy to the tendon of the outer thigh muscle. You do not know the recovery times.
Another representative of the French World Cup team, Margot Bailet, said he was injured during the preparation in South America: "With this photo I thought to say 'Bye bye Argentina & Hello Chile' and instead the phrase becomes' Bye bye Argentina & hello home! 'I fell off getting a tear at the breaker, but it could be worse! It could be a definite seasonal stop, but it is only temporary. Obviously I'm sad and disgusted, I was happy to go to Chile but skiing is so, we know it. Now cure and rest! Aim: to get back on the skis. "
