Hörnblad misses the rest of the season after the crash in Cortina

Hörnblad came late into a gate and lost her balance, whereupon she fell helplessly. A moment earlier, Italian star Sofia Goggia had crashed in the same place.

After the accident, Hörnblad lay down and had to be helped down the hill on a sledge. She was initially taken to a hospital in Milan with a feeling in her left knee for further checks.

It was stated that the injury is so serious that Lisa Hörnblad will miss the rest of the season.

– She was sad but collected and already focused on the plan ahead when I talked to her. She will fly home now and meet a knee specialist at Sophiahemmet tomorrow for further clinical examination and planning around surgery, says Jakob Swanberg.

Lisa Hörnblad has previously had problems with his right knee after a cruciate ligament injury in 2019. This led to an absence of over a thousand days and for DN, the Swede has previously told about the tough period.

– The first months there were no problems, then you lived on hope. But the last year was pure hell, he said Lisa Hörnblad this autumn.

But for this year’s season, Hörnblad was back. She managed to participate in seven World Cup competitions before Sunday’s crash in Cortina d’Ampezzo and was also up for the last minute to be selected for the Olympics in Beijing.

Italian Elena Curtoni won the competition before Tamara Tippler from Austria. Swiss Michelle Gisin finished third
