Damn, what a fall. Always gives this 'weak' feeling in the stomach when someone stays down without any movement for so long, then is treated for so long and then the helicopter flies in..

What was disturbing are those officials, who were standing two meters away and literally did nothing to help the visibly unconscious Ford, moments after the accident...

That very much boggled my mind as well, I was quietly yelling at them to at the very least go check on him..

 

Just saw the replay by the way and yeah, that knee is gone. Jesus, it's that kind of accident where one's lower leg moves completely independent from the upper leg, that's horrible. I really hope the treatment took so long because of that, and not because of something more threatening to his overall health.

Ledecka goes second, but still over a second down.  Goggia’s “Miracle run” from the stadium announcer.  :cheer:
 

Tippler now...

 

I’m learning a lot of German words from this stadium announcer. “Miracle run” “Super nice” - German has become a lot easier since I tried to learn it at school.

protocols...the only people allowed to help fallen skiers are those in charge of the official medical staff...

 

and especially in cases like that, if you're not fully aware of the situation, you could make a lot of damages by trying to move someone who could have broken vertebra...

 

by the way, Ford regained his consciousness when he was on the helicopter and according to the first news he still recognizes the people talking to him...

 

so, likely he "only" has his knees to be evaluated for further problems, but it looks that there are no big consequences to his head and neck area, which is the most important thing...

    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

    • Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector
    • @Gianlu33 we posted the same (great) news at the same time  
    • Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
