Stuhec won’t have knee surgery for torn knee ligament
GENEVA — Two-time downhill world champion Ilka Stuhec says she will try to return next season from a left knee injury without surgery.
Stuhec crashed into the safety nets at a World Cup downhill on Saturday in Crans-Montana, though she got up and skied down to the finish area.
The Slovenian racer says in an Instagram post the “outcome is not that bad as first thought.”
She says she tore the posterior cruciate ligament “but I can make it without surgery.”
