Multiple alpine skiers have sustained significant knee injuries during training sessions.

Italian slalom specialist Tommaso Sala injured his knee during training in Gurgl, Austria. The Italian Winter Sports Federation reported that the 31-year-old athlete experienced pain after passing a few gates. There are concerns regarding a possible torn cruciate ligament, similar to an injury he sustained two years ago.

Swiss prospect Jasmin Mathis sustained partial tears to both the medial collateral ligament and the anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee during training on the Diavolezza glacier in Switzerland. Mathis, a 22-year-old junior world champion, will undergo conservative treatment and rehabilitation. She is expected to miss the start of the season in North America and upcoming events in St. Moritz, with some reports suggesting a return to competition may not occur until 2027.
