Pain! How Hemetsberger is doing after his fall
Daniel Hemetsberger is experiencing pain in his face and right knee after his serious fall during the second training run, but he did not have to go to hospital – partly because a concussion could be ruled out. This was announced by team doctor Dr. Lukas Negrin on Thursday evening. This means that the 34-year-old Upper Austrian will probably be able to start in the Olympic downhill on Saturday (11:30 a.m.).
"Hemetsberger is doing quite well and is currently recovering in his room," said Dr. Negrin at the press conference, providing an initial update on his injuries. "Due to the severity of the impact, he is feeling some discomfort in certain parts of his musculoskeletal system. He is now receiving physiotherapy and needs a little rest. But from today's perspective, there is no reason why he shouldn't be able to compete on Saturday."
"Hemme is a bull"
According to Vincent Kriechmayr, this fall will not throw his close compatriot off track. "Hemme is a bull. Everyone knows that he is in good shape and will come back strong."
What happened?
Hemetsberger levered it out with an early inside position, twisted, touched a gate pole, lost his helmet and then crashed into the safety fence. However, the Upper Austrian was lucky in his misfortune and was able to finish the race himself.
"It shouldn't be anything serious," he said at the finish line, giving the all-clear himself, but of course he wanted to wait for the results of the examinations.
