The two best North American prospects have ended up knocked out and risk a long stop, with Cameron Alexander's knees, for which further investigations are awaited, which are worrying after the blow suffered by the 23-year-old who, right in the last descent disputed, last season in Kvitfjell, he had achieved the best result of his young career with a 10th place.
Shoulder injury, on the other hand, for Brodie Seger: 41st in super-g (the best of Canadians was James Crawford, 40th), the 24-year-old from British Columbia crashed right on the semi-curve leading to the finish line of the "OK", touching the arc of arrival and risking really big. "I consider myself lucky, it could have been much worse - he explained - I don't really know how it could have happened, now we are waiting for other tests to understand the severity of the injury, but it is certain that I will have to stay in the pits for some time and it is the first time that happens to me during the season ".
Seger has the best result in the World Cup a 13th place in the Beaver Creek downhill run a year ago.
