Florian Schieder operated: season over

Florian Schieder è underwent surgery for translatation with cartilage plastic surgery and light meniscus surgery on his right knee. Thus, the season of the 28-year-old rifleman from Castelrotto ends early. Schieder will not participate in the Saalbach Finals, wanting to take time to return as soon as possible ahead of next season.

The blue è however, managed to repeat this year’s second place in the Kitzbuehel downhill, having already achieved the same result in 2023, and has been among the top 10 in the discipline all season.

“It’ all went well – Schieder told official FISI channels -, the doctors who operated on me are satisfied. I did well to have the surgery right away, because after Kvitfjell the situation was getting worse. Now we start with rehabilitation, which means 5-6 weeks of crutches, then I canò load on the leg and do athletically almost everything.

"On skis he will be back after 5-6 months, so in time for the trip to South America. I hope that everything will go well and that he canò return competitive right away in the next season" concluded the blue.
