Switzerland's twice overall World Cup champion Lara Gut-Behrami has been ruled out of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics after suffering a torn cruciate ligament, Swiss Ski said on Thursday.

Gut-Behrami, who boasts 48 World Cup wins across three disciplines, crashed during Super-G training last week.

"She has suffered a torn cruciate ligament, a torn medial collateral ligament and a torn meniscus in her left knee," Swiss Ski said in a statement, adding: "She will no longer be able to compete in any races in the 2025-26 season"

"After her training crash last Thursday in Copper Mountain (Colorado), the Olympic super-G champion must undergo knee surgery," it said, adding this would happen next week.
