One World Championships with a torn cruciate ligament is enough, Alessandra Keller seems to have told herself. At the 2018 World Championships in Lenzerheide, she tore a cruciate ligament in her right knee. One day later, she won U23 World Championship gold while wearing tape. Since then, she has only been racing with an intact cruciate ligament on her right knee.

She had a left cruciate ligament operated on in 2021. Now her right knee should also regain full stability with two functioning cruciate ligaments. The 2025 World Championships in Valais, which will take place in September, are not in danger and she doesn't feel under any time pressure, she told SRF.
