Estelle Alphand, 27, barely had time to go out on the hill before Tuesday's competition was over.

The Swedish alpine skier already drove into the seventh gate and crashed badly.

- It's a brutal crash.

That looked really nasty, said SVT's commentator Johan Ejeborg.

Alphan therefore did not start in yesterday's second giant slalom in Semmering, Austria.

But now the Swedish team comes with reassuring news.

- She is examined and X-rayed, but she is not really injured.

She is a little stiff in the ankle and has had a slight impact on a ligament in the ankle.

But it's nothing serious and won't have any impact in the long term, says Per Jonsson to SVT Sport.

Miss today's competition

However, the 27-year-old will not start in today's slalom competition either.

- She just needs to rest for a few days.

It hurts a little extra in the ankle, so that's why she won't start today either.

But we hope she is already back to Kranjska Gora next weekend.
