Alpine skiing – World Cup. Season over for Greek AJ Ginnis, injured in the knee!

Stoppage for AJ Ginnis. The Greek slalom skier, of American origin, will not be on the track on Sunday in Val d’Isère for the Critérium de la Première neige. According to the Swiss site skinews.ch, the 2023 world vice-champion will even have to end his career.

Accustomed to physical problems, especially when he was still racing for the United States, AJ Ginnis will have to have knee surgery. “It’s worse than expected and I need surgery,” Ginnis told skinew.ch, confirming earlier reports of knee problems. “Afterwards, I will have to take a break of three to four months before I can get back on skis. I don’t know what to say. I am extremely disappointed. »

This time, the ligaments were not affected. He fractured an osteophyte, a bony growth in the knee joint that had developed over time. Operation is the only solution to prevent further damage and complications.
