Austrian top jumpers are struggling with injuries
Jul 02, 2021·Ski Jumping
The two Austrians Michael Hayboeck and Stefan Kraft are currently not able to train fully due to injuries.
Stefan Kraft sustained a capsular injury of the right big toe already early May and after being sidelined for a couple of weeks he was able to start jumping training again earlier this week. "I made four jumps, it was really cool. At the landing, I felt a bit of pain in the toe, but it went well. I really enjoyed being back on the hill", Kraft is quoted on orf.at.
His teammate Michael Hayboeck suffered a bone marrow edema and a partial tear of the anterior syndesmosis ligament when playing soccer last week and is now forced to take a break from training. "I was sprinting towards the ball and twisted my ankle. Either it was a wrong step or there was some kind of small hole in the ground", the 30-year-old said according to orf.at.
Michael Hayboeck will not be able to jump now for up to six weeks.
