Still no news on Kilde anywhere. If anyone finds sth, please share it

The only thing I heard is someone on a Dutch forum saying "apparently he has an open fracture on his right leg, according to Mario", but I have no idea who Mario is (the Dutch ES commentator and the duo on German TV both aren't called Mario as far as I know), so yeah... no idea where he got that from

Agree. But canceling half of the DHs and not having where to replace them is also an issue. A season with only 4 DH equally devalues the World Cup.

 

Oh absolutely, for Wengen it's just unfortunate in this case and if downhills are cancelled, of course they should try and replace it. But Kitzbuhel's downhills are both not replacements, are they? Usually the FIS website would list that, like they did for Wengen, but for Kitzbuhel they didn't.

Austrian TV reported about a broken leg (open fracture), which means that we lost him for the season  

Very, very sad news  Has Kilde now reached Svindal in number of injuries. I have lost the count of how many seasons he has left prematurely now. Both Norwegians achieved so much in their careers, but a big "what if" will loom on the full potential they could have had, if not for the frequent injuries.

No, both DH in Kitzbuhel are regular ones, scheduled from last summer.

I think They have used tourniquet while taking care of Kilde so it really doesn’t look good

 

Theaux - a wise man. At 39 y.o. he skipped the Friday super G and today he had quite a good run…

Sejersted nicely 4th. Now all NOR coaches and staff will focus on him

I think he's Mario Reiter, who's working for the Austrian TV
