Rescued by helicopter
Ouch! Carinthian downhill skier fell victim to the Streif
Felix Hacker from Lavanttal, currently the overall leader in the European Cup, was injured during the final training session for the World Cup downhill in Kitzbühel on Wednesday. The 25-year-old was taken away by helicopter and is believed to have suffered a knee injury.
Scary moment in the final training run in Kitzbühel. Carinthian downhill skier Felix Hacker injured his knee on the exit of the steep slope. His inner ski was pulled off in a right-hand bend, whereupon he had to stop and was unable to continue.
Due to the situation, the officials immediately decided to have him taken to the nearest hospital by helicopter. The race was interrupted. According to initial information, Hacker is feared to have suffered a knee injury.
European Cup dominated
Hacker had recently skipped the downhill in Wengen because there would have been little possible there with a starting number that was too high. Instead, he competed in the European Cup. The 25-year-old currently has four victories there and clearly leads the overall standings.
