Anders Jacobsen © Kathrin Muller - Skijumpingitaly As everybody probably remember the past month in Planica during the last competitions of the season, Anders Jacobsen fell and suffered a bad injury.Is today news ( as has been reported by skiforbundet.no) that the norwegian will go under surgery. "A ligament injury like Anders has, is always treated with a spint first. After six weeks we then operate the ACL rupture. If an athlete suffered an injury like that, the meniscus is probably also damaged. Normally this heals within these six weeks" has said doctor Lars Engebretsen on skiforbundet.no "Normally it takes about six months before you can start again in a sport like ski jumping. But often it takes up to a year until the athlete can trust the knee again 100%". What Jacobsen said: "The most important thing is to get the knee 100 % fit again and one day I'll then start jumping again at full power" We would like to wish to the norwegian a speedy recovery looking forward to see him at the hills very soon again.
