Cedric Nojer, 29, will remember Kranjska Gora with mixed feelings in the future. On the other hand, Wheeler celebrated his best World Cup result so far (4th place) in March 2019 at the Slovenian ski resort. On the other hand, he suffered the most serious injury of his career there last week.
On Saturday, Nouger missed a jump in the second round of the Giant Slalom. So complete a course to further test the material. But then it happens: “I just know I was in the air,” Nouger said while visiting the hospital of eastern Swiss television station TVO. He could no longer say whether he was just a player or whether he had driven entirely towards goal.
“The foot is gone!”
But he immediately felt that something was wrong with his left leg: “I was so terrified. At first I thought the foot no longer belongs to the body. I thought: The foot is gone! I’m losing my foot.” Diagnosis: tibia and fibula fracture.
“Of course it was totally an overreaction, but at that moment it made perfect sense to me,” sums up the 29-year-old. But it wasn’t just hysteria: “Emotions ranged from sad to angry.”
He even wanted to talk about the training path: “I told the service man that he was actually much better. He didn’t know what I was referring to. I’m still thinking about running.”
Rider or ski instructor?
But now it’s time to play your Playstation in a hospital bed instead of circling around a racetrack. The timing is very inconvenient, as his father Luke Kauf explains: “There are still two or three important races to come. And as usual, the same goes here: after the season before the season.” The material tests will now fall through the cracks, as with the rest of the preparation.
It’s the end of a chaotic season for the giant slalom specialist. Only in Adelboden he scored 22nd. Plan Neuger: start rehabilitation as soon as possible so that he can be back on skis in four or five months. However, the question is “whether you are a racing driver or a ski coach”. (Che)
