he will not take part in the World Cup competition in Zakopane due to a torn joint capsule and torn ligaments in the ankle joint. .
. – Kamil Stoch turned up the ankle in the warm-up. Therefore, today he will not jump in the training of the team at Wielka Krokiew. But his start in the World Cup in Zakopane is not endangered – said Jan Winkiel, PZN General Secretary.
However, the situation turned out to be not so good. Soon after, it turned out that the three-time Olympic champion developed swelling, and therefore he underwent a detailed examination. .
– The research is behind us. Fortunately, the bones are whole, but Kamil Stoch has a torn joint capsule, the ligaments are torn, and there is a large swelling. It takes a long time for this to heal 100 percent. It takes 2-3 weeks for Kamil to be able to jump – Dr. Aleksander Winiarski told Sport.pl.
“Kamil will have time to recover”
There are many indications that Stoch will also not compete in the World Cup competitions in Titisse-Neustadt (January 22-23). How will the injury affect our jumper’s preparations for the competitions that will take place at the Beijing Olympics? Qualification for the competition on the normal hill will take place on February 11.
– In my opinion, there is enough time until the Olympic Games that Kamil will have time to recover and return to the hill. With this type of injury, a break from jumping lasts about two weeks. After this period, with intensive therapeutic procedures, Kamil should be able to slowly return to jumping – Rafał Kot, a former physiotherapist of the Polish team of jumpers, said in an interview with the portal.
And he added: – In the case of Kamil, such a break may have a positive effect. Therefore, let us not tear our clothes. Kamil is under great care. Doctor Winiarski is taking care of it. Let us be of good cheer.
The competition in the World Cup in Zakopane will start on Friday, when the qualification for the Sunday individual competition will take place. A team competition is scheduled for Saturday. Live coverage on Sport.pl.
