Giantist Tessa Worley will not take part in the World Cup stage in St. Moritz (Switzerland) scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, due to left knee pain requiring tests, announced the French Ski Federation Friday.
Worley had fallen heavily at the Lake Louise Super-G (Canada) on Sunday but was up immediately. "I was able to reskier for the first time since my fall this morning in St. Moritz, conditions were pretty good, but I did not feel my knee at 100%, I had some pain in support and I could not ski as I wished, " she told the media.
An MRI on Friday in St. Moritz decided Worley to withdraw from surgery and undergo a CT arthrogram on Monday in Lyon to better identify his injury and healing time.
Tessa Worley, winner of the first giant of the season in Sölden (Austria) in October, then 5th in Killington (USA) at the end of November, was scheduled to take part in the super-G and parallel slalom scheduled for Saturday and Sunday in Switzerland.
