Cornelia Hütter, who twisted it on the way to a top time at the last jump and who slipped to the finish, fortunately stood up herself after a short shock moment, provided a shock second.
I went skiing in the italian alps when I was 10 and twisted my knee and that was on what I thought was steep. It was level compared to what these pros do.
@@robertofortuni6886I want you to know that your existence on this planet is entirely meaningless, you are nothing but an insignificant speck of shit that time will entirely forget, your impact on this earth and on the universe as a whole will quickly fade into oblivion and it will be as if you never existed, all that will remain are the vile remarks you left in your time on this earth, I do hope you come to realise this one day and delete the lies that you have spread, for they are nothing but the bitter remarks of an empty soul.
It seems Cornelia was in a good position to take that final jump. Was the cause fatique or did she assume that the final over turn would lead to a crash rather than trying to correct (or both)? Her speed was breathtaking due to her technique. Glad she's ok and good to know she has the ability to achieve this speed. No doubt plenty of success in the future.
in the turn leading up to the jump, you can see her being thrown off balance towards the rear by a small mistake. Due to this, she was not able to correct the turn in time, meaning that she jumped while still turning. This caused her to land sideways and crash.
When you get fatigued, it is easy to get stiffer. When that happens, you get thrown around instead of absorbing and staying in the middle of the skis. If you watch prior to the crash, she got knocked back and put her inside hand down. GS skiers sometimes put a hand down, but not generally in DH. As soon as she got that far back and put a hand down, her inside ski, which has minimal load anyway, was unweighted, and then she "A-framed" that means her inside ski was at much less of an angle. A-framing takes weight off your down hill ski, and she then loses the DH edge. By the time she goes off the jump, she has completely lost the outside ski (which does 90% of the edging), is on the inside ski, and basically has no control. She is skidding around and takes flight 90 degrees to her direction of travel. Basically, the error occurred a full gate before the actual crash. She was trying to save it, but there was just not enough room. Fatigue was likely a factor. At that speed, mistakes can bite you quick and hard.
I’ve raced GS before, and it can be scary how fast you can get moving. If you catch one bad edge or start to lose control, it can be almost physically impossible to right yourself.
🤚 I do! There’s more than one kind of agony. The “agony of defeat” skier did that fall in 1970 but I don’t know when that clip was first used in the WW of Sports.
So, i think that this is the new standard for safety in ski. 1 min after the crash you can literally see no one moving, and she was at the finish line. Can’t imagine if she was in the middle of the track what amount of time they need to arrive on the spot.
The crash STARTS less than 30 seconds before the end of the video. So, you cannot claim that “1 min after the crash…” because you haven’t viewed all of the next 1 min. And BTW, there aren’t medics posted at every 50m down a run that measures kilometers in length.
@@markcoomber8222 so the crash is at 1:37, the clip finish after 30 sec, but you can easily found other videos where two people are going to control him and zero paramedics or medics with them, then those two people help Cornelia to stand up on his own legs, with blood on his face and without any kind of safety for his neck and i think that's very unprofessional after a crash like that in a world cup. The two first paramedics arrived after 2 min, when she was walking away. And just to say, at the finish line you certainly have medics, it's not on the middle of the track, and btw there are medics evert xx meters. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9ea-Tcq6Ays.html
@@PneusDriftGarage watch the longer edit of this crash: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9ea-Tcq6Ays.html The first responder was there within 20-25 seconds... Three others arrived within a minute....
I was glad to see her moving at the end. I assume she recovered. I thought this might be the footage of the female Austrian skier who actually died when slamming into a wall during a competition some years ago.
I’m not gonna lie, the upbeat Irish music along with the fact not a single soul helped her, I seriously considered whether I was watching a comedy sketch at one point 😂
Ah yes how dare they not teleport to her side 0.01 seconds after she hit the ground. How dare they not paralyse her like you'd paralyse her. How dare they know how to do their jobs and ignore nobodies like you.
Its actually better, if only professionals enter the field. Like if she actually got hurt badly, and an amateur starts moving her around, it could fuck her up really bad.
I was thrown off the hood of a car and landed on the back of my head just like that. The car I was on was only going 20 mph.. she took a backward head slam at 3 times that speed. I can't even imagine how she survived that landing
I love skiing extremely fast, but there are things that I will not do, because of how dangerous they are. For example, the last jump after a wide turn. It can be done, but as you can see, even pros can get it wrong, and that is one of those falls that may break you.
Ah yes how dare they not teleport to her side 0.01 seconds after she hit the ground. How dare they not paralyse her like you'd paralyse her. How dare they know how to do their jobs and ignore nobodies like you.
I feel very sorry for every athlete that has to go through things like that and at the same time, having seen Hermann Maier crash in Nagano in 98 i find the definition of “HORROR” is a bit to much for this one.
@@evielknievel4972 a lot of people would probably start moving her around, lying her on her back, trying to sit her up, take her helmet off, etc Which if it’s a broken vertebrae in the neck or back, could slice her spinal cord and either kill her or paralyse her for life. Luckily she only sustained a concussion whiplash and some knee ligament damage which obviously sucks but it could’ve been much worse.
@@evielknievel4972 if you look up Marc Gisin Val Gardena accident, it’s a similar crash, him losing control before a jump… He wasn’t so lucky as he was in a coma for a little while and 2 years later announced he would t return to the sport…
"Oh My God !!!!!!, look how hard she fell, wow, she is probably hurt...yup, look's like she is....gee, just think how hurt she is lying hurt all the way over there...in pain...over there... hurting... like... really badly.... it's just so.... and all of us over here like this .... watching her....in pain....over there... shocking, just shocking... and we're all so close to her... she's just over there.... lying hurt...in pain..." I hope she sees the footage of her teammates acting all shocked and horrified.....
Very caring of her fellow skiiers to not rush to her aid. WTF???!!! They all just stood there watching her limp body and when she moved, they still DO NOT go help. wow
Knew disaster was in her future at the top of the run... her stance was way too open, and she wasn't fully tucked. Surprised, she lasted as long as she did! On the positive side, she did cross the finish (probably faster than she would have had she stayed on her feet)
The downhill is an inherently dangerous event -- but they seem to be trying to make it as dangerous as possible -- I mean look at how steep and fast that course is -- there has to be a limit
They added blue lines to the tracks now. That's new to me, the last time i watch this sport there were no lines to indicate where the track is just those flags.
Who the heck thought it would be a good idea to build a ski jump in the middle of a turn and at the very end of the run where everybody's legs would be Jello by then??? And this just so the name of the venue (Crans Montana) could be displayed? (???) I can see a jump/bump near the end of a course but in the middle of a turn is just plain stupid.
@@SchweinerSchinkler No doubt....just about every one of them....but they are all located straight down the fall line....not at the very apex of a turn like this one is. Bad idea/mistake.
I wouldn’t say it was ‘horrific’. She basically fell and slid the rest of the way and looked more embarrassed than anything else. Got to play your trump card eh…The horrific ones are the ones that go into the catch fencing and either stop dead or are spun umpteen times about. Incidentally, the women are a lot slower on the same course as the men. 110km/h vs 150km/h. Where’s the equality that we keep harping on about?
Honestly this is a pretty routine fall. She didn't land on her neck or head, she barely got any airtime, and she slid causally to a stop. I've taken way worse falls snowboarding at slower speeds.
anyone have an update on this athlete?? her whole run was impressive up until that spectacular crash i hope she's been able to recover and continue her passion 😢
Dang high speed & ice not good for the body as it is let alone when falling or landing all the best to Cornelia she's amazing all professional skiers are look forward to seeing her win a medal after she recovers. My knees hurt just watching her take the high speed turns & bouncing around the ice as they do let alone when she gets turned around & lands awkwardly then seeing her barrel down the rest of the hill. Ouch she is a better person then I. Mad respect & props to her & all professional skiers I couldn't do it my knees punish me enough for doing far less LOL.
That crash isnt worthy of being called horror. Big deal she hit the ground and slip down a hill. I didnt see body get ripped apart or fly off of a cliff or smack into a tree. Clickbait title
This ended up being like those teenager A-hole Skateboarder videos. One of them gets hurt and nobody lifts a finger to help or see if she's OK, they all just stare at her.
TV doesn't do the speeds she was hitting justice either. She was between 60 and 70 mph at times. Like being in a car crash with no car around you to absorb the blow.
