Damaged right knee
Kriechmayr crashed heavily in Wengen
That didn't look good! Vincent Kriechmayr crashed heavily on Saturday in the Lauberhorn downhill in Wengen. The Upper Austrian was promptly taken back to Austria for examinations. It must have been his knee ...
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Just before the finish curve, Kriechmayr, who started the race with bib number eight, fell behind and lost control of his skis. The Upper Austrian skied into the safety net and was thrown back onto the snow. It looked wild. Nevertheless, Kriechmayr picked himself up and managed to get to his feet under his own steam. Skiing into the valley himself didn't seem like an option at first.
Sliding to the finish himself
The 33-year-old stood at the side of the course for a long time, supported by two coaches. A camera pan also showed that his nose was bleeding. And then came the relief: Kriechmayr slid to the finish himself - one ski strapped on, the second in his hand, always taking care of his right leg. He had to be supported again in the finish area and escorted out.
By helicopter to Innsbruck
According to "Krone" information, transport back to Austria was organized immediately and "Vinc" was transported by helicopter to the private clinic in Hochrum (Tyrol). All necessary examinations will be carried out there.
A right knee injury is suspected, as well as some abrasions. There is no official diagnosis yet.
