SUN VALLEY, Idaho (AP) — While his downhill rivals finish the World Cup season, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde is back in Innsbruck, Austria, with his left arm in a sling and limited to 30-minute walks.
It’s all the fresh air the injured Norwegian ski racing standout can manage as he finishes up a round of antibiotics to fight off potential infection in his shoulder. It’s pretty much all the walking his left hamstring can endure after doctors took a piece of the muscle so they could transplant it into his shoulder.
