MUNICH (AP) — German skier Susanne Riesch — the younger sister of overall World Cup champion Maria Riesch — is recovering well from knee surgery that will sideline her for the season.
Riesch tore ligaments in her left knee and fractured her shin in a fall during downhill training in Nevados de Chillan, Chile, in September.
Riesch told reporters Wednesday at a Munich clinic that the surgery went well and that she “can stand up already.”
It was the second surgery for the German skier.
