Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Sarrazin, one of the top favorites to win the downhill, took off during training on Friday as he entered the final section and hit his back and head heavily on the hard piste. The double Kitz winner then slid across the piste and finally landed in the safety nets. His airbag had opened quickly.
The emergency services were quickly on the scene and the 30-year-old was finally transported away by helicopter. Training had to be interrupted for a long time. Vincent Kriechmayr, who started after him, was waved off with a yellow flag. There is currently no information about the Frenchman's state of health.
Odermatt is shocked
Up until his brutal crash, the 30-year-old had been going fast again, having already been the fastest in the first training session on Thursday. The Stelvio is considered a difficult and dangerous track and is notorious for many a serious crash. Let's hope that Sarrazin has not suffered any serious injuries.
His biggest challenger, Marco Odermatt, watched the crash on screen and was shocked afterwards: "As an athlete, you don't want to see that. But you can imagine what just happened," he told Blick. The Swiss also explained that the place where Sarrazin fell was particularly treacherous. "The Stelvio is like a fight for survival," said Odermatt.
The session was interrupted for around 30 minutes, with further interruptions later on. Before the end of the session, the Canadian Cameron Alexander was the fastest in 1:55.13 minutes, followed by the Swiss Stefan Rogentin (+0.53 seconds) and the Austrian Stefan Babinsky (+0.84). The latter's compatriot Daniel Hemetsberger was 1.52 seconds behind as the second best ÖSV skier, at least for the time being, 0.03 seconds less than the Swiss Marco Odermatt.
