He undoubtedly gave himself a big scare, but his control was exceptional. This Friday, Norwegian Adrian Smiseth Sejersted came close to a terrible fall during the Super-G in Kitzbühel, Austria. While racing towards great weather, the skier lost his balance in a jump. Completely unhinged when he fell, he managed to hold on to one ski before continuing his descent.
The image is striking. After a right turn, the Norwegian completely lost his balance, his left leg lifting. Once in the air, he flapped his arms to try to return to face the runway as he hit the snow. He succeeded, landing first on his right leg before bringing his left leg back to race to the finish line.
And Adrian Smiseth Sejersted hardly even lost any time in the adventure. Fifth at the finish, just 36 hundredths behind the untouchable Marco Odermatt, he confirms his excellent form after his bronze medal on December 4 during the descent of Beaver Creek (United States). A good omen a few days before the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympic Games. Four years ago, in Beijing, he finished fourth in the Super-G and 11th in the downhill.
