Felix Hacker was in great shape before the season suddenly ended in Kitzbühel. With a view to safety in the ski circus, the 25-year-old is sounding the alarm. Nevertheless, he can still hope for a fixed World Cup place next winter. . .

Drifted off, took a hit and bang - the cruciate ligament and meniscus were torn! "The ski took a full bite, then it was already over. I even heard it. It was a powerful snap. Like a rope that is under tension and then suddenly snaps," says ÖSV hopeful Felix Hacker, describing the horror moment in the second training session for the Hahnenkamm downhill. A moment that once again fires up the safety issue in the ski circus.
