Overview
- FIS and the Austrian Ski Federation reported a right‑knee tibial plateau fracture with meniscus and MCL damage.
- The fall happened during a giant slalom training session in St. Michael, Austria, ahead of women’s World Cup races in Kranjska Gora.
- Officials said she was scheduled for surgery on Friday, with the injuries ending her season and ruling her out of the Winter Olympics next month.
- A decorated contender as 2021 slalom world champion and a 2022 Olympic gold and silver medallist, her absence reshapes the slalom field for rivals including Mikaela Shiffrin.
- The incident adds to a run of training injuries sidelining Swiss stars Michelle Gisin, Lara Gut‑Behrami and Corinne Suter, reviving safety concerns highlighted after the training‑camp death of Italy’s Matteo Franzoso.
