@@14Lenka11 Well he ain't wrong in the sense that this year, because of Covid, no audience members were allowed, the only people at the finish line are other skiers and teams plus officials and slope helpers, medics. The applause that was heard was played from the speakers and as you could hear, someone actually physically pressed the 'stop' button after the crash, I guess in order not to make it disrespectful. While I have no doubt out of those at the finish line everyone gasped and held their breath in shock, we couldn't actually hear their magnitude of 'applause to silence'. It was the artificial/playback applause into the real silence.
He was going down with such great style! It was scary to see him lose control in his last jump. Looks like he tried to correct. I hope he can recover soon.
For anyone wondering what Beat Feuz in the leaderbox was saying: 2:17 "Did the wind resistance rotate him" (Not literal translation but that's what he meant) 2:22 "Come on guys, hurry up, get to him!" 2:28 "Ah he's moving" 2:38 "Stay put" (addressing Kryenbühl, urging him to just stay put for the moment) 2:47 Discussing how easy it is to just be rotated by the wind resistance on that jump
Folks who have never experienced these speeds have no idea the strength and athleticism it takes to overcome the forces involved in this crash. One reason I place Lindsey Vonn as one of the 3 greatest alpine racers of all time - men or women.
A lot of people don’t realize how devastating a crash on the ‘flat’ can be; your body is fighting gravity. You are literally being pulled into the hill.
The perverse upside of his crash is that he did technically finish the race, which of itself is considered an accomplishment on the most feared, dangerous downhill course in the world. Hope he recovers enough in body and spirit to return to ski racing next season.
Damn, what a blazing run until it looked like the air resistance caught the top of his skis and pulled him forward. His head neck took the brunt of that fall. I hope that the brain and neck injuries are not what they appear to be. Speedy recovery.
@@SomeTechGuy666 Yeah, at high level that's along time. To anyone outside of the very top tier in the world, that's a blazing pace. It's perspective, but I stand by it.
@@SomeTechGuy666 on a course like that for downhill,that can still be in the top 10 in the world. Normal people would be down in 10 minutes or so after him still
I've even watched the Hahnenkamm-Race live on TV! The Moment, after I saw his crash happen, there were a few things, that straight went through my head, like "Is he okay" "Has anything pretty serious happened to him" and "I hope, he'll get well again as quick as possible" But as I saw him sit up for a moment or two, then lay down again, I was being calmed at least a little bit... I was so happy to see Urs being brought to the nearest hospital
I don't know if y'all understand how insane it is to be going 130+km/h outside of a vehicle... And then flying and having to stay perfectly balanced. One slight miscue with the tips of your skis too high and you're going over backwards. Too far forwards and this happens. Fastest I've gone is 90km/h and I was truly terrified.
Wow ... Concussion, Collar bone and ACL ... So sad, and what a great run otherwise ... Speedy recovery ... best of luck. Most crucial in early stages is to treat the concussion.
I would direct you to a certain personage in the organisation who's name I will not say here, who insists this final jump only gets bigger and has 'aledgedly' been overheard to say 'if they can't jump it then they can't ski'...
There was a small mistake I think at around 1:41, prior to the horrible accident. I am a total amateur in ski and I know that muscles can give up anytime...brain is still working but muscles cannot do what I want if they are tired. I hope he will recover soon!!
I'd had never realized the extreme dangerousness of supergee until I got back on my ski again and went to the Italian Alps.. Once you realize how dangerous this can be on those steep slopes even for a recreational skier at very low speeds and then you see those daredevil riding such slopes designed to push the limits, with their speed well over 100km.h on an icy, uneven surface, fighting with high G-forces, then you realize how much nuts this kind of sport is.. Each fall on the Streif slope can mean the end of the skiers carrier and disability for the rest of their life..
I wonder why the bindings to the Ski on the right side does not let go. :S Is it because the track was so hard and bumpy? Hope he recovered does anyone know?
@@CBCSports austrian tv viewers could download an app and make sounds by pressing buttons which were then played in the finishing area to compensate for no fans at the event.
Scott Russell, I thought your call of his crash was pretty insensitive, referring to it as a "yard sale". That crash was horrific. Yard sale is a joke term and inappropriate in this context.
Is the FIS waiting for another death before slowing down the course a little bit? Almost 150 km/h is surely spectacular but at the detriment of the athletes...
The racers had been commenting earlier in the week about the last roll being too large ~ they were getting 80 meters of air. Course officials did nothing.
The track was made with a mistake ( at the very end the speed was over 140 km.) while the whole was about 100 km. An hour later, a 26-year-old man from Schwyz suffered a concussion, a broken collarbone and a torn internal and cruciate ligament in his right knee
As sad as it is but seeing the listed injuries makes me believe that that man's career is over...most athletes don't fully recover from band ruptures and all that stuff...and especially not at his age. Sad story if you think about all this effort and training he put in to reach this level, but who knows, maybe we will see him back on the slopes soon
wtf who cares about the finish in a crash like this. In a crash that ends your season and could end your career, finish is the least thing that matters
Downhill and professional skiing in general has Murphy's Law written all over it. With crashes, but also with terrible wear and tear of the knees. I think I am not exaggerating when I say professional skiing is dangerous. God bless.
@@bastianrathgeber4880 No. He was classified 26th and got points. You don't need to cross the finish line with any ski, maybe the source of the confusion is cycling, where you do need to cross the line with the bike

The speed on that specific day on the jump was more than 5km/h more than the days before or the race day after. That just makes a huge difference in air time. And they already took away of the jump the night before. But someone always has to be the blame.
No. He tipped his tips down too early. At 90mph, drag is a huge force on the skis. The air resistance pulled him forward. And there is no 90mph tailwind.
@@01nmuskier Nope. I watched this live in Europe dude. There were lots of wind gusts around the last jump. Many ski teams complained about this on Saturday and the FIS decided to reduce the height of the last jump on the second Downhill to make it safer and for skiers to be less time in the air and less prone to be pushed forward by the wind. Nothing to do with ski tips. wtf.
between 5:10sec and 5:20sec, the bloke is kjust laying on the ground and no one rushes to help him?? are u serious??? ten seconds is a long time in incidences like this
There’s always this possibility when you ‘play with fire’ we will all fall whilst skiing. At 87 miles is definitely asking for more trouble, and even with his excellent skills, it’s a possibility. He’s going very well now.
Back in the day there were no helicopter. No groomed hard consistent "highway slopes" and the ski equipment was weak and unstable compared to today. The skis were not as flexible and the boots not as stiff, nor was the bindings as safe as today. If you watch Kitzbuhel races from the 70's and early to mid 80's more racers crashed than completed the race. Downhill skiing has become much safer.
When these things happen: Don't other athletes think like maybe I should quit this sport? It looks so dangerous, every race I'm watching is like extreme adrenaline, only from watching. It's a miracle that nobody died since 1994.
A quote the late Formula I driver James Hunt probably works for this too - "There's a lie all drivers tell themselves, 'death is something that happens to other people'; it the only way you get the courage to get in the car. But even greater than fear itself, is the will to win."
@@teecee4574 Probably after reading a bit I guess its the professional athletes will to win and maybe even some kind of adrenaline addiction. They describe it as an unbelievable feeling to ski down these mountains. It is also said that fast and risky car driving is also a thing among ski racers. They might love and want more of this powerful feeling of adrenaline and all the other hormones being released.
To me downhill skiers are the toughest sportsatlethes in the whole world. Yes, they try to make this sport safer at any chance, but when ever an accident occurs the reality is that your body has to take the force of stopping from 90kmh- 145kmh within seconds. Broken bones, career ending injurys and even death are always a part of it.
yes believe me many only get back in the starting gate trying to convince themselves its ok to do it. once on the race track all thoughts are extinguished and all your training race training are engaged and your focus is only what you see ahead your heart and adrenaline are at maximum + and your hearing is subdued almost completely and it goes into what feels like slow motion and suddenly your at the finish hopefully...... you as a person are in a altered reality once you push out of that starting gate at this level of competition.
Сотрясение мозга, перелом правой ключицы, разрыв связок правого колена; был в сознании во время транспорта!! "Nach Angaben des Schweizer Skiverbandes Swiss Ski erlitt der 26-Jährige neben einer Gehirnerschütterung und einem Bruch des rechten Schlüsselbeins auch einen Riss des Kreuz- und Innenbandes im rechten Knie. Kryenbühl hatte am Zielsprung bei Tempo 145 die Kontrolle verloren und war mit dem Kopf voraus auf die Piste geprallt. Er verlor das Bewusstsein, war beim Abtransport mit einem Helikopter allerdings ansprechbar und bei klarem Verstand"
there is literally nearly nothing they could do to make it more safer nowadays. All skiers wear airbags. they have an three layers of fences in each spot. the piste is in perfect condition, they have always an helicopter at the spot to bring them as fast as possible in the next hospital and so on... You should watch this competition 30 years age where they only had like one wood fence in each curve. Its just a dangerous sport in general like motorsport or mma but from an organizer perspective you can't make this sport 100% safe.
he got a concussion, broken collarbone and knee cruciate ligaments. Looks almost like a miracle still I would be currious ro see if he can come back competitive after such an accident.
I traveled the Kitzbühel Downhill Run SLOWLY in my thirties (1980-someting) and being an average-accomplished non-competition skier I decided it was sheer madness. While extreme sports like F1 have been improving their safety record, sports like Downhill Skiing still seem quite medieval and brutal.

"Nach Angaben des Schweizer Skiverbandes Swiss Ski erlitt der 26-Jährige neben einer Gehirnerschütterung und einem Bruch des rechten Schlüsselbeins auch einen Riss des Kreuz- und Innenbandes im rechten Knie. Kryenbühl hatte am Zielsprung bei Tempo 145 die Kontrolle verloren und war mit dem Kopf voraus auf die Piste geprallt. Er verlor das Bewusstsein, war beim Abtransport mit einem Helikopter allerdings ansprechbar und bei klarem Verstand"
@@harrymuller1571 благодарю, должен выжить!
Что с ним в итоге
Порваны связки,перелом ключицы
Кто знает как он !?
Ключица сломана. Травма головы.
saw his right leg was unstable at the middle of the run
At 147 km per h, you got The balls to make that jump.
at 147 you have no other choice, you are hurled into the jump
the level of safety for downhill compétition is worthy of RAF pilots during second world war, unacceptable.
Noone has to ride
there is literally nearly nothing they could do to make it more safer nowadays. All skiers wear airbags. they have an three layers of fences in each spot. the piste is in perfect condition, they have always an helicopter at the spot to bring them as fast as possible in the next hospital and so on... You should watch this competition 30 years age where they only had like one wood fence in each curve. Its just a dangerous sport in general like motorsport or mma but from an organizer perspective you can't make this sport 100% safe.
@@e.s.1873 Yeah you are right, but only mot everyone uses the Airbag
he got a concussion, broken collarbone and knee cruciate ligaments. Looks almost like a miracle still I would be currious ro see if he can come back competitive after such an accident.
Absolutely true
Какова причина падения?
Наверное быстро шёл. Около 150 км. в час.
При приземлении растерялся. Огромная скорость.
Это не на машине.
Уязвлен со всех сторон.
I traveled the Kitzbühel Downhill Run SLOWLY in my thirties (1980-someting) and being an average-accomplished non-competition skier I decided it was sheer madness. While extreme sports like F1 have been improving their safety record, sports like Downhill Skiing still seem quite medieval and brutal.
Can't see @ 87 MPH - Where's the slow-mo ?
Watch vid at 0,25 speed
the stated speed is 146 km per hr. the>>>>>>>>> fastest speed
He knew instantly as he went off the roller that he was screwed. Nothing you can do when you are too far forward off a jump. Terrible way to fall.
What silence after the inpact! He is on the snow and he seems ...😔😔😣😣
That looked shockingly Icy
His mistake was a rapid movement on the hands backwards in the moment of the jump.
Concrete landing , snapped his ski !
That's mostly ice making the fall even worster and harder..
DId he dieded ?
There should be a system similar to F1, where at any part of the track, you can have professionals at the scene within 10 seconds.
Glad so many rushed out to check on him so fast!! WTF?
Took medical team long time to reach him.
U think? Maybe 30 secounds..... Thats not long
@@einfachabsurd3757 I think it's pretty long for the first person to arrive. I suspect that Covid has reduced the amount of personnel, so that may lengthen the time
@@xWood4000 30 sec is a max.... It was probably faster..... And thats not long but i guess u dont know that if ur not a medic..... And how many medics do you think they have? As far as i know medical staff is not reduced tue to covid....
@@einfachabsurd3757 I mean it's not a long time if someone is even dying (asphyxiation is probably an exception, maybe collapsed lung too?) but better to be there even faster. I think someone could have run with ice spike boots there faster than 30 seconds, and begun CPR for example. That's what I was surprised by, that there wasn't a single medic/ski patrol that was faster than the others
@@xWood4000 yes time is important but not as important as most people might think. If he cant survive 30 secounds without help he wont survive at all......
Ну,пожалейте своих близких! Зачем вам большой спорт?! Не рискуйте жизнью!!!
Эгоисты.
Живут так, как будто никогда не умрут.
А умирают так, как будто никогда и не жили.☝️😢
I dont under stand the thinness, there was so much ice instead of packed snow.
He crashed at 91 mph. I hope he is ok. Amazing run too.
@@Antonin4Real no... mph.
@@Antonin4Real 140km/h
Btw look at how shiny that top section of the track looks, that's just pure ice they skiing on
Well it needs to be, otherwise it wouldn't be a fair race.
Imagjne being the guy in the start gate going right after him
I would sue the organizers of the competition because every year racers get trams on this springboard. The descent is not easy at the end, its riders get tired ... and then 145 km per hour speed and a springboard ...
The best part of this is the airhorn way after its clear he's down.
Трасса сделана с ошибкой ( в самом конце скорость была свыше 140 км. ) тогда как по всей было около 100 км. час поэтому 26-летний мужчина из Швица получил сотрясение мозга, перелом ключицы и разрыв внутренних и крестообразных связок правого колена.
