and  Pietro Zazzi also had a bad crash, ending up with broken tibia and fibula in his right leg 

 

a few more skiers also went down Today, but luckily with no injuries

 

the different quality and consistence of the snow (and ice) in some points of the track made it very difficult and will be a problem also Tomorrow, when the skiers will have to go full speed

I haven't read anything about that

 

meanwhile many skiers were complaining about the snow and the different consistency of it between the sectors of the track

 

Odermatt was quite polite but very tough at the same time on that...

Bormio DH is, al always, one of the best event of the season 

[Gianlu33 4,707]

Casse threw away the victory. He went very long, finishing uphill in the snow that was brought back (losing at least 1 second), and still came within 5 tenths...

Men alpine skiers are getting almost on the crybaby level of F1 drivers, footballers and cyclists.. I fully agree with Marcus Waldner who said, that skiers are complaining about everything and anything every weekend.

 

In Levi they didn't like the fog, in Gurgl it was the snow consistence and light, in Val D'Isere it was the snowfall on the track, now in Bormio there are 10x excuses. It's a weather infected outdoor sport for Pete's sake and all of them KNOW this from a young age. There are no optimal conditions in a vacuum for your run...

 

If you can't cope with the conditions, then adjust, if you can't adjust, then reduce the speed to mitigate the mistakes, but don't bitch and want to change stuff for everyone, because YOU can't cope. 

 

Allegre took the cake yesterday, when he said, that Italy should be stripped of the Olympics, because of the Bormio course  What a clown. No, better yet, what a moron.
