Almost inconspicuous. A actually ordinary red rod, inserted at the beginning of the Escarpment, in the first run of world Cup slalom. But then, this tilt turns out to be the face of all things for the best of the Swiss slalom specialist as an insurmountable obstacle.
First, Daniel Yule flies. The Valais managed until then an almost perfect run, only 0.28 seconds at the last intermediate time behind the Achiever of Marcel Hirscher. It could be a run that brings him a world Cup medal.
But …
Then this red gate is there. Yule loses just before the rod control of his Skis, the centrifugal force is forcing him in the knee. Immediately grabbing the edges hard into the snow. It looks as if he would be hurled from a catapult from the snow. Yule POPs on the back, slips as helpless as a ladybug on the back over the snow.
From the past. Yule is honest, he should be in the SRF information. First he squirms, wants to remain “decent”. Finally, he says, what know it all anyway: “It shits me”.
you Have read the course wrong?
But is it still over with the bursting of the Swiss Dream at this Swedish Morning. According to Yule also Ramon manages to Zenhäusern a good ride. He seems to be in the upper part of still a bit inhibited, but then he turns it up. He also is driving on the best way, under the first Three. Only 0.62 seconds behind Hirscher.
But …
Then, of this insidious red gate. Read the Swiss team leader in the course of the visit incorrectly? It is just fate? Zenhäusern manages to smuggle his Skis to the rack. But the Radius was wrong from the start, he must cross the blue gate of the Skis. The Swiss is practically at a standstill.
After all, he can still escape to the finish. He is allowed to start in the second race. With the medals he should have nothing to do. As the Twelfth, he is 2.32 seconds behind the leader, Marcel Hirscher, with whom he had almost kept pace. If, Yes if not for this darn red bar would be confessed. (fra)
