Horrible start
Prevc holds on to skis in flight, the wall knocks Sundal away
Austria's ski jumpers have made a sensational start to the new World Cup season with places 2 to 5. Apart from the ÖSV success, however, there were two shocking scenes in Lillehammer.
A dangerous and unprecedented situation had already occurred in the qualification: Kristoffer Eriksen Sundal was still preparing on the beam when he received a "push" out of nowhere from the movable take-off system behind it, complete with banner.
"It could have ended badly"
Sundal made the best of it, landing 132 m, but then understandably scolded the organizers. "It could have ended badly because I couldn't control the binding. Hörl had won the qualification with a superior 141 m.
And Domen Prevc's heart must also have been pounding when he suddenly had his right ski in his hand during the qualifying jump. The boot had not come off the binding plate, which is why the ski developed a life of its own. The fall was unavoidable, but thanks to his quick reaction there were no serious consequences.
