Chable wants to do some races this season. The Swiss championship too.
To ski. There is nothing Charlotte Chable (25) prefers to do. “The feeling on the ski is so awesome, I love it,” she says. The problem: Since the start of her career, she has rarely been able to do this. The 25-year-old has already suffered three cruciate ligament tears and broken bones. And last week there was an emergency operation! Why? Chable, who was 15th at the World Cup five years ago as a teenager, had stomach cramps in front of the European Cup giant in Folgaria (It). Nevertheless, she drove – first to the finish, then to the emergency room. «I had appendicitis. The doctors said that I had to operate, ”said the slalom specialist.

The shock was deep. Chable flew back to Switzerland and immediately went under the knife in Zurich. «It all happened very quickly. I received general anesthesia and was completely gone. » The inflamed part of the appendix was cut out, there were no complications. The threads are pulled on her stomach on Tuesday. “There will only be small scars,” says the woman from Villars VD. You can tell: The mental scars will be significantly larger.

Chable is likely to return to skis this winter. For them, the season is again one to be forgotten. She won a single World Cup spot in seven races. «After the start of the season, I completely lost confidence. After that it was really difficult. »

The question is whether Chable will ever make the connection again. As a B-squad driver, she has hard bread to eat – also financially. «At some point I find happiness. I want to try it again. I only step back when I feel that it no longer makes sense. »
