On December 3, he suffered damage to his cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his knee in his fall in the Beaver Creek Super-G and required surgery. There was talk of the end of the season and a break of six to nine months. Surprisingly, the 36-year-old Super-G Olympic champion from 2014 is now expected to compete in Yanqing.
Jansrud wrote on social media that he was delighted to represent Norway at his fifth Olympics. It’s been quite a journey since his crash at Beaver Creek. However, the healing process had progressed unexpectedly well, the operation was postponed, and there was little hope in China. “The cruciate ligament seemed strong and we focused on the Olympics.” He completed the final preparation in Kvitfjell.
