Mattias Rönngren had a personal best in progress with a 15th place in the first giant slalom race earlier today.
But Åreåjaren got a wrong cut in the second run and was forced to interrupt the run.
Pretty quickly, an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament in the left knee was found.
- It looks quite undramatic and you see that kind of thing often but it is high speed and it is icy.
Unfortunately, this also happens often when you are in very good shape because you risk a little more.
He takes with him that he made a cruel first run, that he had the baton and knew where he was going today, says Fredrik Kingstad, head of the alpine men's national team.
Rönngren flies to Stockholm on Monday and will be operated on on Wednesday.
