Drama on Stelvio: Sarrazin heavily fallen - rescue helicopter requested!

Bormio, Italien - cyprien Sarrazin, the French ski superstar, has experienced a dramatic turn that caused excitement during training in Bormio. The 30-year-old did not cross the finish on Friday and fell in the end of the demanding Stelvio route. After he was excavated by a wave, he lost control and crashed into the hard slopes, slipped into the fences. A rescue helicopter was immediately requested because Sarrazin initially remained motionless, while his colleague Vincent Kriechmayr, who drove behind him, was waved away while driving. The training was immediately stopped to recover Sarrazin. So far, nothing has been known about his state of health, which reinforced the worries about the French athlete, who was already on the podium as a second in Beaver Creek this season and took first place in Kitzbühel, such as Today.at reported .

In the middle of these shocking developments, Sarrazin had previously opened the Speed ​​Week in Bormio with an impressive best training time and was 0.41 seconds faster than the American Ryan Cochran-Siegle. In the meantime, the best Austrian, Daniel Danklmaier, took a solid rank with 14th place. Last year's winner Vincent Kriechmayr, on the other hand, had difficulties and landed in 23rd place. This season there have been only two counting descents after several races in Zermatt/Cervinia and Beaver Creek. Despite the challenges, the competition remains hard, and the athletes hope to achieve better results in the upcoming competitions, reported oe24.at
