OBERHOF/STOCKHOLM. Andrejs Rastorgujevs was well placed in the WC chase start.
Then everything went wrong – when he fell and slid down a slope.
– He made the seal. Anja Pärson can be proud, says SVT commentator Ola Bränholm.
After the second shooting in Sunday’s hunt start, the Latvian Andrejs Rastorgujevs, 34, went out ninth, with a good chance of taking further places.
On the following lap he would take a downhill run. Then he dropped the scythe and fell. The veteran slid a good distance before falling down a slope.
– Oh, what a speed it is, and down the slope. No, no, no, Andrejs, says SVT commentator Ola Bränholm.
The expert Björn Ferry filled in:
– It is not easy to get up from there with a heart rate of 190.
With the help of the audience and others along the track, the light picked itself up, heavily tangled, and drove on.
He made the Seal. Anja Pärson can be proud, says Bränholm.
During her career, the Swedish alpine skier made the “seal” her signature when she celebrated her victory.
