Pinturault flown to France with serious injury

Frenchman Alexis Pinturault (33) suffered a more serious injury than first thought after his crash in the super-G in Kitzbühel. Pinturault is being flown to France.

According to the French Ski Federation FFS, the three-time World Champion and 2021 Overall World Cup winner suffered a “severe bone contusion of the inner tibial plateau with fracture as well as an injury to the inner meniscus in his right knee”.

Alexis Pinturault already suffered a serious injury a year ago when he tore his cruciate ligament in Wengen.

This means that Pinturault’s season has ended prematurely again – and the question arises as to whether the Frenchman will try again next winter.
