Shocking scene in the training camp of the Norwegian ski jumpers. Overall World Cup winner Halvor Egner Granerud loses control in the air during a training jump in Lillehammer and crashes onto the green plastic floor. The 27-year-old is briefly unconscious after the violent impact.
“I don’t know if it was the adrenaline that made me pass out or if I just passed out,” he told NRK after the fall. He couldn’t remember slipping off the mountain after the fall. Granerud is lucky and gets off with a few bruises. He was able to leave the hospital after a short time.
Was the material to blame?
It is clear to Granerud that his material also contributed to the fall. The suits of ski jumpers will be smaller from next season to reduce the surface area. Higher speeds are now needed to jump far. “It is getting more and more dangerous. We have to have more speed, jump higher and land harder. And that with the same widths. I am not satisfied with that”, the Norwegian criticized.
Halvor Egner Granerud is one of the most successful Norwegian ski jumpers of all time. In 2021 and 2023 he won the overall Ski Jumping World Cup and in 2023 he was also the winner of the prestigious Four Hills Tournament. (byl)
