That was close!
Scary moment for Kriechmayr in the downhill in Val Gardena/Gröden
Vincent Kriechmayr's downhill run in Val Gardena/Gröden almost came to a painful end. After twisting after a long jump, the Upper Austrian was only just able to avoid a fall. The 33-year-old had already messed up a top time beforehand.
Luck in misfortune! After Kriechmayr had already left a lot to be desired in the upper section, the race was almost completely over for Austria's greatest speed hopeful after a jump that went out of control.
Big gap
Kriechmayr almost landed with his backside in the snow - if he hadn't acrobatically scraped the corner in the truest sense of the word. However, the ÖSV skier fell well short of the best time he had hoped for, finishing 1.92 seconds behind the Swiss skier Franjo von Allmen, who had been in the lead until then.
"I'm just annoyed with myself," Kriechmayr summed up afterwards in the ORF interview. In general, the season has not gone according to plan so far, the two-time World Champion left Beaver Creek with a fifth and a sixth place, in the super-G in Val Gardena/Gröden he only finished twelfth. "In Beaver Creek I at least had some basic speed, which I completely lacked today - a shame," says Kriechmayr.
