Yesterday we experienced the two serious injuries suffered by the Norwegian phenomena Braathen and McGrath, today the Chuenisbargli unfortunately is still the scene of an accident that worries the whole white circus.
The first heat of the second giant from Adelboden saw Tommy Ford suffer a very bad fall right in the very last doors on the final wall, immediately losing consciousness for the blow to the head, before ending up between track staff and nets. Transported by helicopter after being rescued for almost half an hour on the spot, comforting news about his condition are awaited.
The race resumed after 35 minutes of stop from the bib number 5 Filip Zubcic, while previously Loic Meillard, at the start with the '1, had signed a time that was not beaten even by the ruler of the giant yesterday, a Alexis Pinturault who skied perfectly anyway, closing 3 tenths from the Swiss, giving the feeling that he could still be the favorite for the success, waiting for a second heat that will start with a slight delay compared to the scheduled time at 13.30 .
Third position for Marco Odermatt (who started with 3, just before Ford), who made a big mistake and thus pays 7 tenths, then there is Zubcic, also on the podium in race 1, fourth at 1 "02 . The Swiss festival continues with Gino Caviezel, fifth at 1 "49 and 2 cents ahead of his compatriot Murisier, while Luca De Aliprandini is currently seventh at 1" 78, with Kristoffersen still disappointing and over 2 seconds.
