Felix Monsén has shown great form at the beginning of the season.
In a training race before the downhill race in Beaver Creek two weeks ago, he finished sixth, and yesterday he finished second in the first training race before Val Gardena's downhill race.
Many knee injuries
But today, on the second training run in Val Gardena.
He fell at high speed and when he finally stopped he seemed to cry out his pain and hit his left knee several times.
However, there have been no reports of how seriously injured Monsén is yet.
Knee injuries have been a major problem in alpine skiing in recent years.
Over 40 percent of all injuries in alpine sports in the last 14 years are knee injuries.
As recently as yesterday, the news came that the Norwegian star Kristin Lysdahl, third in the parallel slalom in Lech last month, damaged her cruciate ligament and missed the rest of the season.
