Not just a tile for the Austrian ski jump: Eva Pinkelnig, one of the best athletes of the women's team, as well as able to get on the World Cup podium sixteen times, five of which triumphing, and to win two silver world championships, is crashed in training in Seefeld yesterday.
According to "ORF sport", Pinkelnig was immediately transported by helicopter to the university clinic in Innsbruck, where she was immediately operated on for a suspected fracture of the spleen, later confirmed today by the national doctor Peter Baumgartl.
"Recovery times are currently not predictable. The most important thing is that Eva gets back to her body and is fine, she will think about it later on for the return to the races. She was training very well recently, so the injury in this moment is a real shame, however we are happy with the timing of the rescue, which allowed Eva to be operated on the same day as the accident "- declared Baumgartl himself interviewed by" ORF sport ".
