season in March for bone fragments. He re-aggravated it during training in Argentina in August and was sent home for evaluation. Return in 2014 Feuz returned to the World Cup circuit for the 2014 season and claimed sixth place in the downhill at Beaver Creek in his third race back. This was Feuz's best result of the season, as he still appeared to be struggling with his knee injury. Feuz no longer entered giant slalom races, and his ability in slalom was diminished so that he could no longer contend in the super combined races, not even entering the Kitzbühel combined competition, a race in which he had previously finished on the podium. Feuz was selected for the Swiss Olympic team and raced the downhill, Super-G, and super combined, and his best result was a 13th in the downhill. His 2014 season indicated that he wasn't fully healed; he did not qualify for the season-ending World Cup finals. Return to top positions in 2015 Feuz started the 2015 season brightly, taking sixth in the opening downhill in Canada at Lake Louise. The breakthrough result came in the next downhill as Feuz was runner-up in the Birds of Prey for the second time in his career. After the event, through an interpreter, Feuz said, "my knee will never be 100 percent again," and that for him, his comeback story was "almost bigger than I can imagine; it's almost too much." The lasting effects of the knee injury were clear though, Feuz didn't manage better than 17th in the first four Super-G races of the season, and he still wasn't entering Giant Slalom races as he had done previously. Feuz backed up his result in Beaver Creek with a second runner-up placing, this time at his home downhill in Wengen. The podium results in downhill were enough to book Feuz a ticket to the 2015 World Championships, held on the Birds of Prey hill on which he had twice been on the podium in his career. Feuz was left out of the Swiss squad for the Super-G in favour of Mauro Caviezel, but in the downhill, he led the race for much of the way. He finished third, behind teammate Patrick Küng and American Travis Ganong, and gained his first major championship medal. In the super combined the next day, Feuz produced another stellar downhill run, in second by a narrow margin.
