Norway’s Aksel Lund Svindal, who won a medal of every color at the 2010 Olympics, will miss the rest of the Alpine skiing season due to knee surgery, according to his social media.
Svindal, 34, has been trying to come back this season after a brutal Jan. 23 crash, where he tore his right ACL and suffered cartilage and meniscus damage.
He made the podium in three of his first four races in the fall but hasn’t competed since Dec. 17 due to right knee pain.
Svindal’s countryman, Olympic super-G champion Kjetil Jansrud, became the world’s best speed racer the last few years as Svindal battled injuries.
