Mario Seidl had to receive medical treatment after a hard landing at 136 meters. The man from Salzburg was taken to hospital with a suspected knee injury. 

With bib number 28, Seidl jumped to 136 meters, but fell during the landing. The man from Salzburg ultimately had to be carried out of the outrun and taken to hospital. 

"Transport back to Austria is currently being organized, where the kneecap injury will be treated surgically. It is currently not possible to assess whether there are any other injuries to the knee," said ÖSV doctor Lukas Pichler.
