Spanish Ski Mountaineer Ana Alonso Injured in Bike Crash, Olympic Hopes Uncertain

An Instagram update confirms multiple ligament and bone injuries, leaving a narrow pre‑Olympic recovery window.

Overview

  • Ana Alonso says she was struck by an SUV while training on a road bike in Sierra Nevada about two weeks ago.
  • Spanish reports detail a torn anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament in her right knee, bone edema, a malleolus fissure, and an acromioclavicular dislocation.
  • The later report describes a final diagnosis that is worse than initially expected, based on information she shared publicly.
  • Alonso states she will try to recover in time for Milano Cortina 2026 in February, though no medical timeline has been confirmed.
  • She is considered a medal contender as the sport debuts at the Games, following World Championships silver in the mixed relay with Oriol Cardona and an overall World Cup title.
