Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Kitzbühel DH

Training cancelled today due to rain Sad , just heard a report here that Michi Walchofer will possibly have to miss the start after suffering an accident in SG training up on Hinterreit this morning. A shame as this is his last season and he was in good form.

Just watching the DH training and the Mäusfalle has claimed its first victim, is it my imagination or it the jump even bigger this year? Looks like it´s going to be a very difficult race, the piste is very icy , more so than in previous years and extremely bumpy. Think they may have to build that jump down a bit unless they want to have some serious injuries on Saturday. Crying or Very sad
Primoz, where are you?

That was a big crash!!!! Shocked Just saw it on Austrian TV - will not post a link, but you can find it on YouTube if you so wish

His head took a huge impact. Austrian news has just reported that he is undergoing surgery. Fingers crossed that everything works out ok

That was a really horrible crash - I hope he recovers as well as Albrecht did and is able to return to skiing at the highest level.

The slope is incredibly bumpy and icy even for the Streif. I saw that they had closed it off and were preparing it 2 weeks ago (probably been closed longer) The warm weather and rain last week must have made keeping a good surface nigh on impossible.

Hope he and his face recover soon! Looks like he dragged his face on the ice for a fair bit.

All the best to him Sad

Horrible fall. He is now in Intensive Care after his operation. I think the fact he "dragged his face on the ice for a fair bit" is the least of his worries.

Good luck to him.

Have just spoken to one of the Austrian team speed coaches (ex GB team) and he said that "the situation is very very serious"
We all hope he pulls through with no lasting effects.
They are very very brave to ski that course. Thats the 3rd serious injury in 3 years.

All our best wishes go out to him

Plugboy, I have had this conversation many many times with the coaches, are the courses in combination with the new material too much for the athletes?
Do the course builders build impossible tracks that attract the viewers but risk the athletes?
Looking at Gruggers run today it was easy to see he made an error in that the turn was not properly executed before he went over the Mäusefalle, but every year there is a serious injury, you as the father of a speed athlete must surely worry?
Our trainer(AUT) shrugged his shoulders and said the athletes know the score, and the show must go on.I just don´t know.

BTW if anyone want to hedge bets I am going with Innerhofer or Miller, Innerhofer really attacked the Streif as if it was nothing, and Bode just sauntered down Shocked

TJ has had 3 major crashes in speed, 2 in DH + 1 in SG. All resulted in just bad bruising and stiffness thankfully. Plus 3 trashed pairs of skis! The last one was in the first training run for the Mens WC DH at Lake Louise this season.
He said that you have to be 100% confident in your ability to even think about skiing Kitzbuhel.
Mind you he txt me after the Beever Creek WC DH training run and said "This is such fun"! The Birds of Prey course is pretty hairy so they certainly blank out the danger.

"Bitterly cold" in Kitz this morning apparently. Looks like a mix of sun and low cloud. The Mausefalle has been tweaked a bit apparently to make it less aggressive following Grugger's fall. Imagine there must be lots of red and white hats and flags and Gosser beer being drunk...

First 15 down. Bode still in the lead. Some serious players coming now. Walchhofer (slightly injured) heads off...

And he's fallen.

Doesn't look too bad. But race over for him... (Austrian's will be gutted).

Thanks for that link...Great viewing.

Easy to say after the event, but's that the first time in years where i have predicted the correct Top Two. Wish i had put some money on it now.

Looks great in Kitz too.
