Curious incident in Lienz: the previous driver falls and has to reach the finish with crampons

Elena Riederer falls in Lienz.

Big bad luck for the Austrian young driver Elena Riederer (18). At the giant slalom in Lienz (Austria), she was allowed onto the slopes as the leader – and fell. Because it needs to be repaired afterwards, the start of the first run is delayed by about twelve minutes.

An incident occurs on a steep slope. Riederer loses control of her skis and can no longer prevent a fall. Ultimately, she ends up unceremoniously in the safety nets. The marshals immediately rush over and take care of Riederer. At first glance, it appears that she was not injured. She stands up and attaches crampons to her ski boots so she can leave the track. But then it turns out that Riederer apparently hurt himself. In any case, her right arm was secured with a belt by the ambulance staff.

Helicopter not available

However, the Austrian, who was on the podium in two FIS races this season (victory in the slalom and third in the giant slalom), will not let himself be carried away. Instead, she must find her own way to the destination with the help of the crampons. The reason? On the one hand, there is no snow next to the slopes, so you cannot bring it down with a rescue sled. And on the other hand, according to ‘Krone’, the helicopter is currently in action due to a fallen ski tourist and cannot pick up the driver.

So Riederer has to make the painful journey to the finish himself. It is not yet known how serious her injury is. (beer)
