Downhill world champion
“Cried with joy”: speed ace back on skis
Downhill world champion Jasmine Flury is finally back on skis after her serious knee injury last season. "I cried with joy," admits the Swiss athlete, who is still working hard on her comeback.
"It feels sooo good to be back in the snow," Flury writes on Instagram alongside a video showing the reigning downhill world champion on skis. A moment that the Swiss athlete has worked long and hard for and which now triggers great emotions in her. "I have to admit that I cried with joy," Flury tells Blick.
Nevertheless, the 31-year-old is under no illusions: "I want to race again soon, but not by hook or by crook. The cartilage has to gradually get used to the increasing pressure."
The 2026 Olympics as a goal
That's why the Swiss athlete is not necessarily focused on defending her World Championship title. "The World Championships motivate me, but my knee sets the pace," says Flury, emphasizing: "The 2026 Olympic Games in Cortina remain my big goal."
However, the road there will still be a long and certainly arduous one, which is why the 31-year-old wants to focus on winning stages. Just like her return to skis. "At the moment, it's all about celebrating and enjoying these beautiful moments."
