German Nordic Combined Standout Maria Gerboth Out for Season With Torn ACL

Her coach calls the loss a severe setback for Germany.

Overview

  • Gerboth sustained a complex left-knee injury at Sunday’s FIS Grand Prix in Chaux-Neuve, including a torn ACL and a partial lateral meniscus tear.
  • She has already undergone surgery and will miss the entire upcoming World Cup season.
  • The World Cup opens December 5 in Trondheim, leaving Germany to adjust without one of its top jumpers.
  • Head coach Florian Aichinger described her absence as a severe setback, saying she set the team’s jump level internationally.
  • The 23-year-old finished 10th overall last season as Germany’s third-best and is targeting a winter 2026/27 return, with no women’s Nordic combined event at the Milan Olympics.
