Update from Thursday, December 28th, 7:23 p.m.: After the terrible scenes from Bormio, the diagnosis has now been made. According to oe24.at, Marco Schwarz suffered a torn cruciate ligament and medial miniscus as well as cartilage damage. A real horror diagnosis for the athlete.

The team doctor looked at him. He will now be taken as quickly as possible to Innsbruck, where further examinations will follow,” said head coach Marko Pfeifer ORF. While a diagnosis is still pending, his coach Paul Schwarzacher fears loudly Blick the end of the season for Black.
First report: Bormio – Unsightly scene during the men’s downhill skiing World Cup in Bormio. In a curve, Marco Schwarz, who currently holds the lead in the overall World Cup, lost his balance and fell into the safety nets. TV expert Felix Neureuther commented on the 28-year-old’s accident on ARD and hoped that he was not seriously injured.
World Cup leader Marco Schwarz falls heavily
During the descent on the Stelvio in Bormio, Marco Schwarz wanted to further extend his lead in the overall World Cup. However, the ski racer lost his balance in a curve and fell. The 28-year-old Austrian then slipped into the safety fence, which was supposed to slow down his impact.
Although he was able to free himself from the nets on his own and it initially looked as if he would have escaped without any major injuries, he had to be transported away with helpers supporting him and with his right leg in a splint. A helicopter flew him to a nearby hospital. The race was then interrupted.

Neureuther comments on the fall – “Please, please, please, I didn’t hurt you”
This year Felix Neureuther is on the ARD as a TV expert. He had already cut a good figure in front of the TV cameras in the past. The former world-class ski athlete already suspected bad things at the moment of the fall. “No, no, no, please don’t go in,” said Neureuther immediately following Schwarz fell and before hitting the safety net.
When Schwarz was transported away in the rescue helicopter, the TV expert was already sending him well wishes. “Please, please, please don’t hurt yourself,” were Neureuther’s hopes. “He’s such a brilliant skier, really and a great guy, Marco Schwarz, hopefully he didn’t get injured,” added the shocked 39-year-old. A few days ago, Austrian downhill hopeful Nina Ortlieb was seriously injured in St. Moritz.
Frenchman Sarrazin is in the lead
After 17 runs had already been completed on the course in Bormio, the Frenchman Cyprien Sarazzin led the field with 1:50.73 ahead of the Swiss Marco Odermatt (+0.09) and the Canadian Cameron Alexander (+1.23). The race was temporarily interrupted because the track boundaries had to be re-prepared. However, things are now moving on. (accumulation)
