Bosnia and Herzegovina’s best skier Elvedina Muzaferija experienced a heavy fall during the first official training in Andorra, where the FIS World Cup competition continues, and due to an ankle injury, she will miss the downhill scheduled for Friday, February 27.
The accident happened near the end of the first sector after Muzafferia, at high speed, hit the gate during a minor landing, then hit the track and the protective fence. On that occasion, as can be seen in the video posted by the skier, flew upside down several meters.
The fall was quite serious and I can say that I did much better than it could have been. It is very fortunate that the air vest inflated in time and protected me from blows from the path and the guardrail, says Muzafferia.
After receiving emergency medical help and medical examinations, changes were found in the area of the ankle joint.
Certain tests have been done and I am still waiting for the specialist’s opinion on some of the findings. Right now it’s clear that I will miss today’s training and tomorrow’s downhill race. There is very little chance that I will be able to start the Super-G races on the weekend, but by the time they exist I hope, adds Muzaferia, reports Radiosarajevo.
The women’s downhill race will be held in Solde on Friday, while the Super-G discipline will mark the weekend as compensation for the canceled race from Zauchensee.
