Short moment of shock during the first slalom run in Kitzbühel. Norway’s Atle Lie McGrath went off the track and fell. As a result, he also cleared a photographer.
The Norwegian Atle Lie McGrath started in the slalom in Kitzbühel. The beginning of the first pass looks good, but then the athlete fell at full speed and slid down the slope. He took a photographer with him who was standing on the side of the track. Another photographer next to him just managed to dodge.
However, both were unharmed. “He was extremely fast and should have retired,” said “Eurosport” commentator Guido Heuber. McGrath then got up again and the race was briefly interrupted. After that it went on normally.
