Canadian skier Valérie Grenier is determined to return to the slopes, but doesn’t know when she will be able to do so.
Grenier spoke to reporters via video conference for the first time since falling during a Jan. 28 super-G World Cup event in Italy.
Grenier suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and partially tore a medial collateral ligament in the fall.
She says she doesn’t know if the ACL will need to be repaired and doesn’t have a timetable for her recovery.
Three days before the accident, the 27-year-old Franco-Ontarian had finished tied for third place with two other skiers during the downhill in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy.
It was the first World Cup downhill of his career.
Earlier this year, she won gold for a second consecutive year in giant slalom in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia.
