Canadian skiing star Valerie Grenier needs multiple surgeries after crash in super-G

INNSBRUCK, Austria — Canadian skiing star Valerie Grenier says she’ll need multiple surgeries after a serious crash during a World Cup super-G race Sunday in Cortina D’ampezzo, Italy.

While appearing to correct her trajectory to avoid a gate, Grenier lost an edge and was propelled into the air before falling heavily onto the track. She was taken off the course by toboggan after receiving lengthy medical treatment.

In a social media post from Innsbruck, Austria, she says she sustained a fractured humerus, a torn anterior cruciate ligament and a partial medial collateral ligament tear.

The 28-year-old from St. Isidore, Ont., adds that she’s scheduled for shoulder surgery in Innsbruck on Wednesday before likely heading home for knee surgery next week.
