Season over for Swiss Olympic champion Viletta
Print Edition
SANDRO Viletta, the reigning Olympic super-combined champion, has been forced to cut short his season because of a right knee injury, the Swiss federation announced yesterday.
Viletta, who turns 30 later this month, picked up the injury during a training session for the downhill at Val Gardena, Italy, in mid-December. “The bone bruising is painful, particularly when I’m in bent positions which are crucial for competitive skiing,” explained Viletta, who will now prepare for the 2017 world championships at home in St Moritz. His absence is a new blow for the Swiss team after world downhill champion Patrick Kueng called an early end to his season last week because of persistent knee pain.
