Sky Sport<\/a> asked Professor Fabrizio Tencone<\/a>, Director of Isokinetic Turin<\/a>, what this type of injury entails and whether it is possible to compete in alpine skiing just a few days later.<\/p>\n\n

According to Tencone, Vonn\u2019s situation after an anterior cruciate ligament rupture can present itself in unexpected ways, with little swelling or initial pain depending on the type of injury.There are rare but documented cases in which an athlete continues to train or compete despite a significant injury, because not all the surrounding tissues have been damaged.The Director of Isokinetic Turin also cited examples from football, where some players have continued playing despite knee trauma.<\/p>\n\n
