Gut has hip reset following fall
SAAS-FEE, Switzerland -- Swiss skier Lara Gut has dislocated her right hip in a training accident just weeks before the World Cup season starts.
The Swiss ski federation says the 18-year-old fell during giant slalom practice and was flown by helicopter Tuesday to a hospital in Viege, where her hip was reset. She then was transferred to see a specialist in Bern.
Gut is expected to be out one month and miss the opening of the World Cup season on Oct. 24.
She won silver medals in downhill and super-combined at the world championships in Val d'Isere, France, last February.
