Alex Schwazer injured

26.01.2011 World

Olympic 50 km champion and European 20 km silver medallist Alex Schwazer suffered a serious knee injury while he was skiing near his home village Racines in Italian Sud Tyrol.

"I fell and soon I felt very acute pain. The left knee was swollen and I went immediately to the Vipiteno’s hospital. In the next few days I will undergo a scan visit in Pavia." There is a high risk it turns out to be a knee ligament injury which would sideline him for the World Championships in Daegu and the rest of the season. Last week Schwazer, who is now caoched by former 20 km world champion Michele Didoni, met Italian Team Technical Director Francesco Uguagliati and the Carabinieri team’s staff to map out the 2011 season. Before Daegu Schwazer had originally planned a 20 km test at the European Walking Cup in Portugal next May.
