AFP - Young Finnish skijumper Ville Larinto will not compete again this season after falling as he landed awkwardly at the Four Hills tournament at Garmisch on Saturday, it emerged Sunday.
Larinto, just 20 and sixth in the World Cup standings, snapped cruciate knee ligaments and will undergo surgery Monday in Helsinki.
The Garmisch event went ahead despite difficult windy conditions which saw the competition reduced to a single jump.
Sunday saw qualification jumps for the third Four Hills event at Innsbruck on Monday.
