More than two years after his horror crash in Beaver Creek (in which he broke both lower legs!), speed skier Max Franz appeared at the World Championships in Saalbach as a forerunner in the women's race - a big step towards his comeback. He talks to "Krone" about the emotional chaos, adrenaline and his future.

"Krone": Max, you surprised everyone with your performance in Saalbach - why was it kept secret for so long?
Max Franz: I didn't want to announce it in advance, because that would only have created pressure. To be honest, my participation was repeatedly on the back burner - because there were always setbacks.
