Alpine skiing: training turns into drama for Urs Kryenbühl at Beaver Creek

Urs Kryenbühl’s winter season is potentially over before it even begins. A member of the federation’s B squad, the 30-year-old Schwyz athlete was injured during the first training session for the men’s downhill at Beaver Creek, scheduled for Friday.

“Urs Kryenbühl lost his balance after receiving a blow to his right knee,” Swiss Ski said in a press release on Wednesday. Initial on-site examinations revealed a complex knee injury, which will be examined in more detail in Switzerland in the coming days.”

It’s terrible for Urs Kryenbühl who was making his return to the white circus, two years after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in the same knee. During the super-G in Bormio, in December 2022, he was forced to stop mid-round while holding his knee.

It seems that he never really recovered from this serious fall during the Kitzbühel descent, in January 2021. Having made a mistake on a jump, the skier from Unteriberg had already suffered a tear in his legs at the time. cruciate and internal lateral ligaments of the right knee.
