French Skier Ken Caillot Airlifted After Heavy Crash During Streif Training

No medical details have been released, with race preparations continuing.

Overview

  • Caillot lost control before the Mausefalle section, was thrown roughly 40 meters, and landed hard on the piste.
  • He was treated on course, remained conscious, and was seen sitting up and communicating with first responders.
  • His in-suit airbag deployed, which reporting suggests may have limited the severity of the impact.
  • The session was halted for about ten minutes and he was evacuated by rescue helicopter.
  • Italian skier Giovanni Franzoni set the fastest time of the training run as the Hahnenkamm downhill scheduled for Saturday stays on track.
