Ski racer Thomas Dreßen has been on alpine skis for the first time since his operation in February of last year. “It’s good to be back where I belong,” wrote the 28-year-old on Instagram.
Germany’s most successful downhill skier also posted a picture showing him on a slope in Sölden. “The first turns felt good and I’m happy to have snow under my feet again,” reported the 2018 Kitzbühel winner.
After the World Cup in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Dreßen underwent an operation on his previously damaged right knee, during which free pieces of cartilage were removed and the cartilage smoothed. After the Upper Bavarian had already missed the speed start at the end of November, he announced that he would not participate in the Olympics in December. At that time he had made a comeback in early March in Kvitfjell.
