Odermatt Wins Shortened Beaver Creek Downhill as Rok Aznoh Suffers Heavy Crash

Aznoh was airlifted after prolonged on-site treatment, with his condition still being evaluated.

Overview

  • Marco Odermatt captured his 48th World Cup victory and third win of the season on a weather-shortened Birds of Prey course.
  • Organizers moved the downhill up a day due to snow and shifted the weekend program, advancing the Super-G to Friday and canceling a planned second downhill.
  • Rok Aznoh crashed late in the race, lost his helmet in the impact, remained initially motionless, and was transported by helicopter to hospital.
  • A team-radio update relayed by Eurosport reported he was not in life-threatening condition and had knee complaints, though official medical confirmation was still pending.
  • Ryan Cochran-Siegle finished second at +0.30 seconds and Adrian Smiseth Sejersted took third at +0.69, after a race stoppage of roughly 20 to 21 minutes.
