This incident is already the second of its kind after Murisier 2022 had similar problems. The operation took place on the morning of May 28, 2025, and Murisier explains that he suffered from severe back pain, which ultimately led to the necessary examinations. Despite these health setbacks, the 33-year-old shows great determination to fight back and plans to start snow training again in August, provided the rehabilitation is planned as Kreiszeitung reported.

Despite the challenges, Murisier explained that the 2025 season was one of the most difficult in his career and that he continues to believe in himself to get back into shape.

back problems as a common problem

back complaints are a common problem that also affects athletes such as Murisier. According to an analysis of the HKK, there are various risk factors for back health, such as lack of exercise, stress and one -sided stress. Prevention expert Dr. Wolfgang Ritter advises to pay attention to back health in complaint -free years and to integrate regular exercise in leisure and work. In particular, the increase in home office since corona pandemic has increased the risk of lack of exercise, since employees rarely get up and move in rigid jobs. It is therefore advisable to incorporate regular exercise breaks to promote back health in the long term.

Justin Murisier, who won his first World Cup victory in Beaver Creek in December 2024, ended the departure rating of the 2024/25 season on the 7th place. Despite his health setbacks, he has set up a structured rehabilitation plan to optimally prepare for the coming season. Murisier expressed the confidence that he would recover from these setbacks and would like to return to the top, which underlines his determination.
