Next victim of the horror slope: Ski star receives devastating diagnosis
Bormio (Italy) - After the great concern for the French athlete CyprienSarrazin (30), another star of the alpine skiing circus has been hit with a serious injury on what is currently the most dangerous downhill in the world .

Josua Mettler (26), who, like Sarrazin, crashed in training on Friday, has now received an absolute horror diagnosis.
The Swiss skier tore his anterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament and medial meniscus on the piste - in both knees!
This was the result of an examination at the Hirslanden Clinic in Zurich. "An operation on both knee joints is unavoidable and is already planned for next week," explained team doctor Walter Frey (67) in a statement from the Swiss Ski Association.
Not only does this mean the end of the season for Mettler, but the 26-year-old also has to accept a very serious setback with regard to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.
The alpine skiing competitions are to be held on the "Stelvio" in Bormio of all places, which is currently turning out to be a horror run.
Criticism of the downhill run for the 2026 Olympic Games grows after horror crashes

Given the severity of his injury, it is doubtful whether the Swiss will be ready for the qualifiers at the beginning of next winter.
The fact that both knees are affected by the same injury means that the rehabilitation and recovery training process in particular will take an enormous amount of time.
However, Josua Mettler was lucky in his misfortune, as his French colleague Sarrazin was far worse off.
The 30-year-old suffered a serious head injury in his crash. Blood collected between his meninges, a so-called intracranial hematoma. The bleeding had to be drained in an operation. On Saturday evening, the relieving news came that he was no longer in an induced coma, but had woken up.
Discussions about the safety of the downhill for the 2026 Olympics gathered pace after the two crashes and that of Italian Pietro Zazzi (30).
The organizers still have a lot of work ahead of them in terms of athlete safety before the big event.
