Mélanie Meillard crashed yesterday during slalom training in Levi and injured her right knee. The MRI examinations today in Geneva revealed an injury to both menisci and a cruciate ligament rupture. This means that the season is already over for the 28-year-old. Mélanie Meillard will undergo surgery in the coming days.
"It's hard to accept getting injured just one day before the start of the season, especially after such a good summer preparation. But I know the way back and I'll do everything I can to come back even stronger," said Mélanie Meillard.
