The skicross skier Elliott Baralo, 26, will miss the rest of the season. The Swede injured his knee during a training run before the World Cup in Italian Innichen before Christmas and now it turns out that the cruciate ligament is torn and needs to be operated on, writes the Swedish Ski Association in a press release.

Previously, Sweden's biggest skicross star Sandra Näslund had her season ruined with a leg fracture.
