Stefan Brennsteiner successfully underwent arthroscopy at the Hochrum private clinic on Tuesday. The 28-year-old suffered an outer meniscus and cartilage injury in his left knee in Chamonix in the parallel giant slalom of the Alpine Ski World Cup. On Wednesday Brennsteiner was released from home care again.
“The knee is not swollen and I have no pain,” said the giant slalom specialist in an interview with the Austrian Ski Association (ÖSV). “When I saw this wave swing I noticed that something was wrong and then instinctively stopped. It was a pecking in the knee and you know immediately that it’s over now. ”But he was relieved that it wasn’t a cruciate ligament rupture. “Because the whole process would have been completely different and the preparation different.”
The focus is now on preparing for the next season. His conclusion of the season that has now ended for him is sobering. “I am convinced that I am more capable than I showed in the World Cup this year. Check off and look ahead positively. “
