Devastating diagnosis: season over for Prast

They are scenes that you don't want to see: Alexander Prast was doing well in the Super-G in Val d'Isére on Saturday - the first race of the season - and was well on his way to collecting World Cup points, then he botched a jump and came to fall violently. It was immediately clear that the 24-year-old was seriously injured; after all, he had to be transported away on a stretcher. Although they could Head injuries and broken bones can be ruled out during examinations in the hospital , but a magnetic resonance showed: The right knee was completely damaged. Total damage to the knee “Everything that can be broken is broken in the knee,” explains speed trainer Raimund Plancker SportNews . “The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are torn, both collateral ligaments are gone and there is also a meniscus injury. His season is over.” So Prast is facing an operation and then a break of at least six months. Particularly bitter for the young South Tyrolean: Thanks to strong performances in the European Cup, he was able to secure a fixed ticket for the World Cup Super-Gs last year and was also part of the World Cup team for the first time. Now the injury is forcing him to take a long break. Plancker also regrets this: “He integrated well into the World Cup group, developed well and also achieved good times. This injury is a damn shame." In South Tyrol's ski camp, this is the second serious injury within a few days: At the beginning of December, Nicol Delago tore his Achilles tendon during training ( SportNews berichtete ).
