Skiing: Snowboarder Dujmovits out with injury

Associated Press

VIENNA, Austria — Austrian snowboarder Julia Dujmovits will be out for two months after breaking her left ankle and injuring her knee today during slalom training.

Dujmovits crashed on the Windachferner course in Stubaital. She was hospitalized in nearby Hochrum, where she was to have surgery later in the day, the Austrian ski federation said.

The 21-year-old Dujmovits won her first World Cup title in 2007 at a parallel slalom in Nendaz, Switzerland.
