Furious the Grisons, who left the following message on his Facebook profile: "Every year we wonder how long the FIS will compete in Kvitfjell in front of these organizers. What else needs to happen? It is not enough what happened to Matthias Lanzinger, who lost a leg to the lack of a rescue helicopter? We athletes are just puppets of a system that for a long time is no longer comparable with the sport. "
The incident passed almost unnoticed, so that Markus Waldner was informed only at the end of the test. The judge-referee the FIS has promised measures: "Of course it is the case to investigate the incident with the referee and the delegates. I will organize an evening meeting with the captains of various teams and make a decision about it. "
It should be remembered that Kvitfjell, despite having been an integral part of the most beautiful ever organized Olympic Games (Lillehammer 1994), is no stranger to serious organizational shortcomings. As noted by the same Janka, during the Super G in 2008, Matthias Lanzinger and fell, due to the absence of a helicopter that could carry it quickly to a nearby hospital, doctors were forced to amputate his left leg, left too long without blood circulation.
