Wright Sidelined With Ankle Injury
Bella Wright crashed in the second of two FIS World Cup super-G races at St. Moritz, sustaining a broken talus bone in her right ankle. She traveled back to the States to undergo further evaluation, therefore missing the Val d’Isere (FRA) speed series.
On Saturday, Wright provided an update via her Instagram account:
My heart is a little shattered, but I’m going to continue to work and make sure I do everything I can to be back when the time is right. For the next 6 weeks I will be non-weight bearing so my ankle is going to be taking it easy but the rest of my body is going to work🏋🏽♂️
Stay tuned to Wright's Instagram account for further updates, and to follow her journey to recovery.
