Winter Olympics: Lara Gut-Behrami to miss Milano Cortina 2026 with knee injury


Defending super-G champion Lara Gut-Behrami will miss the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy after suffering a season-ending knee injury.

Swiss Ski said the 34-year-old will have surgery after crashing during training in Copper Mountain in Colorado.

She ruptured a cruciate ligament and tore a medial ligament and a meniscus in her left knee.

Gut-Behrami, who has won 48 World Cup golds across three disciplines, planned to retire after the 2025-26 season.

“My goal is to fully recover from this injury and to reach my full performance again. Only then will I know what the future holds for me,” she said.
