Overview
- Two-time Olympic combined champion Michelle Gisin, 32, was airlifted after losing control at over 100 km/h and striking safety netting during downhill training.
- She was flown to Zurich for surgery on Thursday after on-slope treatment, and officials said she did not lose consciousness.
- Gisin is the third Swiss 2022 Olympic gold medallist hurt in training in about a month, following Lara Gut-Behrami’s season-ending ACL tear and Corinne Suter’s lower-leg injuries.
- The St. Moritz weekend features downhills on Friday and Saturday and a super-G on Sunday, which Gisin had targeted to start a shift toward speed events.
- Lindsey Vonn’s training run was paused for medical response on Thursday after she posted the top time in Wednesday’s first practice.
