Swiss Ski Star airlifted after Training Crash

Two-time Olympic champion Michelle Gisin was airlifted by helicopter on Thursday following a severe crash during a World Cup downhill practice session in St. Moritz, Switzerland. The incident occurred on a cloudy morning as Gisin was racing on the course.

This marks the third instance in the past month where a current Olympic champion from the Swiss women's Alpine ski team has experienced a significant crash in training. Gisin's crash follows similar incidents involving Lara Gut-Behrami and Corinne Suter, underscoring a difficult period for the team's top athletes.

Gisin, a gold medalist in Alpine combined at the last two Winter Games, currently leads the Swiss women's speed team. Her injury adds to a list that includes Gut-Behrami, whose season ended with an ACL tear, and Suter, who is recovering from multiple injuries sustained during training.
