Jasmin Mathis suffers knee ligament injury during training

Swiss alpine skiing prospect Jasmin Mathis has sustained partial tears to both the medial collateral ligament and the anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee. The injury occurred during a training session on the Diavolezza glacier in Graubünden, Switzerland, when her skis caught unexpectedly, causing her knee to buckle inward without a fall.

Mathis, a 22-year-old junior world champion in super-G, will undergo conservative treatment rather than surgery. Rehabilitation has already begun in Magglingen. Due to the nature of the injury, she is expected to miss the season start in North America, including races in Copper Mountain, as well as upcoming events in St. Moritz. Some reports suggest a return to competition may not be possible until 2027.

This is a recurring issue for the athlete, who previously suffered a torn cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament, and meniscus injury in the same knee in December 2022.
