The ski stars are currently preparing for the next world championships. Meanwhile, a DSV athlete has to digest a shock.
The German ski racer Andreas Sander fell violently during the first training for the World Cup downhill in Val Gardena. However, the 34-year-old got away relatively unscathed from the accident in the lower part of the Saslong slope on Tuesday, as he himself reported. He could give the all-clear, said Sander in a statement from the German Ski Association.
“The knees feel good. I probably got a few bruises on my neck, my thoracic spine and my buttocks. Of course they are painful, and I can feel that right now at the finish. But it looks like it’s true. “Now I’m lucky in misfortune.”
After the previously planned speed races on the Matterhorn and Beaver Creek in the USA had to be canceled due to weather, the first two downhill runs of the season are now on Thursday and Saturday as well as a Super-G on Friday (each at 11:45 a.m.). planned for this week in the Val Gardena program. In addition to Sander, DSV also reported his teammates Romed Baumann, Thomas Dreßen, Josef Ferstl, Simon Jocher and Luis Vogt. Ex-Kitzbühel winner Dreßen only wants to compete in the two downhill runs in his comeback after a long injury break and forego the Super-G.
