(ANSA) - Kitzbuehel, January 21 - Dominik Paris's season is over after he tore the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of his right knee during super-G training near Kitzbuehel Tuesday, the Italian Skiing Federation (FISI) said.
    Paris fell at a bend on the course.
    "My season ends here," he said.

    "There's not a lot to add.
    "We'll assess what to do over the next few days, together with the medical staff".
