How will things continue for Michelle Gisin?

The Swiss athlete suffered a serious crash during training last December. The 32-year-old sustained a torn anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament in her left knee.

She also suffered tendon injuries in her shoulder, a cervical spine fracture, and a shattered hand.

Gisin reported at the time: "It could have been much worse. It wouldn't have taken much for me to be in a wheelchair." All Info >>>

Two Options

What's next for the all-rounder remains open.

In an interview with "SRF", Gisin made it clear that a comeback next season would probably be too soon.

Currently, the two-time Olympic champion has two options: "Try to come back the season after next. Or say thank you and look back on a wonderful career."

Decision in Autumn

However, she only wants to make a decision in autumn.

"Depending on how I feel then. I want to feel the fire again, and if it continues to burn so strongly, give myself the chance to try again."
