"I was visited by Dr. Bertrand Sonnery Cottet, who also worked for me the other time in Lyon - writes Veronika. For this type of injury, it usually takes from 6 to 8 months to go back to sports, but on Friday I will undergo a more modern operation after which I should be able to return on skis just two months away! "
The 33-year-old Slovak slalomer suffered a similar injury in 2013 and tried to go skiing without surgery, but the knee, the left in that case, did not support the effort and thus lost the entire Olympic season 2013-2014. Now the story is likely to recur but Veronika is clinging to everything to be present at Pyeongchang 2018, which would be his fourth Olympics.
Instead, it smells the dream for five circles for German Benedikt Staubitzer. The 26-year-old Bavarian giant specialist broke the crest of the left knee and was already operated in Munich. His season did not even start and he had to stop last season because after a twelfth place in Sölden he had to operate the disk hernia. His best result in the World Cup is an eleventh place in Hinterstoder in 2016.
