Kitzbühel (Austria) (AFP)
Veteran and France team leader Johan Clarey fell heavily at the end of the second Alpine Skiing World Cup training run in Kitzbühel (Austria) on Thursday, but does not suffer a major injury.
Clarey was knocked off balance on the last jump before the finish line and ended her race in the safety net.
"I don't have a big injury but it hurts everywhere, especially in the arm because of a big impact in the nets, he explained in the mixed zone. I hope to be able to be calm tomorrow but It's not won. I make a small mistake, I'm a little behind, I take the wind under the skis, I try to catch up but, at 140 km / h, it's too late. "
Johan Clarey, who turned 40 earlier this month, is looking for the first victory of his career and remains on a solid start to the season (three top-10 downhill and super-G).
The skiers have an appointment with two descents on Friday and Saturday then a super-G on Sunday in the most famous resort in world skiing.
After American Ryan Cochran-Siegle on Wednesday, Austria's Vincent Kriechmayr was the fastest on the training run on Thursday.
