Carly Margulies nearly quit skiing after her seventh knee surgery. But she kept going, and now she’s in the freeski halfpipe final.
While rehabbing from her last injury in 2019, Margulies tore her right meniscus. Then in December 2019, she tore her right ACL and meniscus on a fall during the qualifying round at a World Cup event in Colorado.
Finally, last December, just months before she was supposed to leave for the 2022 Winter Olympics, another devastating torn left meniscus. “I kind of realized that today,” Margulies said after her run. “I’ve always been wondering that. But as soon as I landed my first run, I realized, “This is what I’m still doing this for.’”, Margulies’ meniscus was so damaged that the area could simply be “snipped,” leaving her with just four to six weeks of rehab.
