After a medical examination on Monday the doctors now had positive news. No ligaments are torn, Janne Ahonen only sustained a strain. "Waiting for the diagnosis was terrible. I felt pain in the knee and I knew that something happened. I was hoping for the best, but expecting the worst", the 38-year-old said to Finnish TV channel YLE.
The former overall World Cup winner will now not be able to train for a couple of days and shall be fully fit again in just a few weeks. He doesn't consider this a problem when it comes ot the preparation for next winter. "In summer it went pretty well so far. The expectations for the winter are now on a different level than last year. I have no other goal than to jump well and be successful", told Ahonen, who was sidelined for a few months last summer due to a knee injury.
