World Cup
Fanara has started over 70 World cup races, mostly in giant slalom but also in slalom, and has been on the podium seven times.[1] In December 2007, he fell and hurt himself in the second run after winning the first run of a race in Bad Kleinkirchheim, but finished. Two years later in December 2009, Fanara incurred a season-ending injury to his left knee after a spectacular fall during a race in Beaver Creek,[2][3][4] two months before the 2010 Winter Olympics.
