Severe Ankle Injury: How the ÖSV Skier Is Doing

ÖSV skier Lisa Hörhager brought back a different souvenir from her training camp in Argentina instead of a lot of training time – a few screws in her ankle.

Already seven weeks ago, the 25-year-old technical specialist suffered a severe injury during season preparation.

Now she's reporting back with pictures from the hospital and of her new "hardware". "There's still a lot to do until I can get back on the snow, but I'm managing," the Zillertal native reported to her fans on social media.

After a torn syndesmosis ligament in December 2025, it is already Hörhager's second ankle injury within a short period.

Second Setback for ÖSV

In addition to Lisa Hörhager, the ÖSV team must also do without Maja Waroschitz in the upcoming season.

The season, which hasn't even started yet, is certainly not off to a good start for Red-White-Red.
