The alarm has returned for Aleksander Aamodt Kilde who yesterday had been the victim of a terrible accident in the Wengen downhill. The skier had been airlifted to the hospital after being left on the ground due to cuts caused by his skis. The worst was feared but fortunately the Norwegian athlete is fine and announced it on his social media, posting a photo with his girlfriend Mikaela Shiffrin.
"I'm here (cared for by the one and only Mikaela Shiffrin)... patched up... Thank you so much for all the messages. I am grateful for all the words of love and support, this sport can be brutal, but I continue to love it. I will share more later".

Initially, a compound fracture of the femur was thought. In reality, it is "only" a cut to the leg, as well as a dislocation to the shoulder and obvious abrasions on the face. After the accident, the forecast was that the season was over for Kilde, but now there are good chances that he can return in not too long.
