  • Swiss skiing talent Isabella Pedrazzi suffers a serious injury shortly before the start of the season.
  • The 20-year-old will not be skiing again this winter after tearing her cruciate ligament.
  • She thanks those around her on Instagram and promises to come back even stronger.

The young athlete, who is part of the Swiss-Ski B squad, is regarded as a great Swiss hope for the future. Last season, she celebrated her first podium finish in the European Cup with third place in the Super-G in Sarntal.

Now the 20-year-old is facing a long time away from the slopes. Before the season has even started, it is already over again due to the severity of the injury. "It breaks my heart, but I will do everything I can to come back even stronger," Pedrazzi writes on Instagram.

The 20-year-old thanked those around her for their support and posted several pictures from the hospital. "I am very grateful for all the support I have received from my family, friends and sponsors."

But there is also something positive for the 20-year-old. Thanks to the injury, she now has more time to look after the new family dog, writes Pedrazzi and posts a cute photo of the cuddly new addition to the family.

Dog instead of skis: this is how Pedrazzi wants to spend some of her newfound free time.
