Unexpected Setback

Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, the 31-year-old Norwegian star, will face a prolonged rehabilitation after falling in Wengen last January. According to the Norwegian Ski Federation’s press release, Kilde recently underwent another surgery on his left shoulder at The Steadman Clinic in Vail, Colorado.

Ongoing Pain and Infection

Now recovering at home in Innsbruck, Austria, Kilde started experiencing pain in his injured shoulder a few weeks ago. After an assessment by the Norwegian Ski Association’s health team, doctors found an infection. Consequently, they decided Kilde needed further evaluation during his stay in the USA.

Focused Treatment

Currently, Kilde is on antibiotics and undergoing additional treatment. The USA, Austria, and Norway medical teams work together to ensure his speedy recovery. This collaboration aims to get Kilde back to good health and comprehensive training as soon as possible.

Cautious Optimism

Dr. Trond Floberghagen, the alpine national team’s doctor, stated, “It is far too early to say anything about the prognosis, but this will require a new rehabilitation period.”

Determined to Return

Despite this setback, Kilde remains hopeful. He said, “This is a setback, and I have to spend more time in the training period than planned. It is too early to say when I can be back in 100 percent training, but I will use the time well. I will come back.”

Kilde’s determination and the support of his medical team give hope that he will return to the slopes stronger than ever.
