Alice Robinson to skip Giant Slalom in Killington
Nov 07, 2019·Alpine Skiing
New Zealander ski star Alice Robinson revealed in a social media post that she suffered a bone bruise that occurred during a training run ahead of the race in Soelden and after careful medical examinations, she has been advised by doctors to take some time off.
Consequently, she has to sit out the next GS race in Killington (USA) and she will spend the upcoming weeks focusing on strength training and rehab at home in New Zealand. She will aim for a return to the World Cup with the next women’s GS scheduled for the 17th of December in Courchevel (FRA).
So a lil update... leading up to Sölden I had a crash training and tweaked my knee... I thought everything was all good so continued to ski and obviously race. However we decided to get a scan when I got back home and it showed enough bone bruising that I’ve been advised by doctors that I need some time off to let it heal. To take the safe road I won’t be starting the next World Cup in Killington I will be focusing on my rehab and strength training at home and I’ll be back in December. It’s a hard pill to swallow seeing I’ve already been skiing on it and racing, but I’m going to listen to the experts and not put myself at risk of more damage. Thanks for all the support 😥
