Overview
- A training fall in El Colorado, Chile resulted in a torn left anterior cruciate ligament and injured medial meniscus, a diagnosis confirmed after Waroschitz returned to Austria.
- This is a repeat of the left ACL rupture she suffered in December 2025, ending a comeback she had been preparing for after intensive rehabilitation.
- The Austrian Ski Federation characterized the incident as an unspectacular training fall and Waroschitz underwent reported successful surgery in Austria.
- The new injury will force the 20-year-old to miss the coming winter season and pause her progression through World Cup competition.
- Waroschitz is a leading Austrian technical prospect with Youth Olympic gold medals, and her recurring knee injuries will require long-term rehabilitation and careful load management that could alter her development timeline and return-to-race plan.
