Excitement about Sarrazin
“It’s amazing how you can ski with it”
On the sidelines of the ski competitions in Val Gardena/Gröden, there is a lot of excitement about the Frenchman Cyprien Sarrazin and his carbon construction on his lower leg. "I find it very surprising how you can even ski with a part like that," says Austria's speed coach Sepp Brunner.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen A "material trick" is currently causing a stir in the Ski World Cup. Cyprien Sarrazin's shin guards are supposed to help him ski an even more direct line. But could this end up harming the entire sport of skiing?
Even more injuries?
"This construction makes everything even more aggressive and direct. And if someone like Sarrazin celebrates success with it, the young athletes will of course also have such a special protector made for them," says Sepp Brunner in an interview with the Swiss newspaper "Blick". The concerns are great: "This will lead to even more injuries in the future."
Trinkl: "It's very dangerous"
Hannes Trinkl has his back: "We wanted to restrict these protectors in the regulations last spring, but we didn't get our way at the meeting with national associations. The further development of these shin guards is very dangerous for me," says the FIS Speed Director.
