Marielle Thompson, the reigning Olympic and World Cup ski cross champion, ruptured an ACL and MCL in a training crash in Switzerland.
Alpine Canada did not say when the accident happened or what Thompson’s chances are of returning to defend her Olympic title in PyeongChang.
Thompson flew from Switzerland to Vancouver for an MRI that confirmed the injury.
“I’ll be making a plan with my team moving forward and when the time is right getting back on the ski cross course stronger than ever,” Thompson said in a press release.
Thompson, 25, tore a meniscus in January 2015 and returned to competition 11 months later.
