Michelle Gisin crashes heavily in the second training session for the World Cup downhill in St. Moritz. She is taken away by helicopter. There is no information about injuries yet.
Gisin fell after a good minute of skiing after her skis were cut. The Engelberg native then slid unchecked into the safety nets. According to initial impressions, she could have been seriously injured. Gisin was flown to hospital for further medical examinations.
With Gisin's fall, the bad luck in the Swiss women's team continues. Lara Gut-Behrami is out for the entire season after suffering a serious knee injury during training in Copper Mountain, Colorado. Corinne Suter will have to take around a month off due to injuries sustained last Wednesday during training in St. Moritz. Examinations revealed a torn muscle fiber in her left lower leg and a contusion of the left knee joint. A fracture in the right rear foot area was also discovered.
