Austria's Anna Fenninger

Two-time defending overall World Cup champion Anna Fenninger could miss the entire alpine skiing season after tearing ligaments in her left knee during training on Wednesday, the Austrian Ski Federation (OSV) announced. Fenninger suffered a heavy crash during a training run in Solden ahead of Saturday's season-opening giant slalom and was "airlifted to hospital by helicopter to Innsbruck", according to the OSV. Tests subsequently revealed the 26-year-old had torn both her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and lateral collateral ligament (LCL) and she will undergo surgery later on Wednesday
