As she was unaware of the symptoms of blood poisoning, skier Corinne Suter almost had to amputate her right foot.

As Schwyzerin, 24, revealed before the first women's sprint in Lake Louise, the incident could have cost her the loss of her right foot. Originally, there was a bruise under the nail during a training camp in South Tyrol, in the summer. During self-treatment, the infection began, as reported by "Bazonline".

The double world champion 2014 in the junior ladies has recognized late body signals. If intoxication had not been detected and treated on time, the foot should have been amputated, explained Suter. After all, the hours would have been decided, the doctors said.

Full of verve in the new season of speed

Because of the incident, Suter missed nearly two months of preparation. She caught up with the backlog. During the team training of the last weeks, she made a strong impression, as well as during the physical tests.

After a year and a half of the season, the 2018/19 Schwyzerin won their first World Cup podium. The previous best result was 4th place in the Lake Louise downhill two years ago.
