Two years ago, Canadian Broderick Thompson celebrated the greatest success of his World Cup career with a third place in the Super-G in Beaver Creek. It is now clear that the 29-year-old narrowly missed death during training on Wednesday.
Austrian head coach Marko Pfeifer witnessed the drama surrounding the speed specialist from Whistler Mountain in his position under the “Golden Eagle Jump”: “Broderick’s fall is one of the worst things I have ever seen!” In this compression, Thompson lifted him so violently after the jump that he fell from a height of about three meters.
After this horror crash, Thompson was flown by helicopter to the hospital in Denver. Because the doctors there suspected a blood clot in the brain, he was put into an artificial coma. The worst could be expected in just a few hours. But on Thursday it became clear: Broderick is over the mountain and can be contacted again. It is not yet possible to predict how long ninth place will have to take a break on the last Hahnenkamm descent in Kitzbühel.
