– Aleksander has had his shoulder dislocated, and a cut in his calf. He has no fractures, but is bruised. Kilde is in good hands at the hospital in Bern, says the alpine national team’s doctor Marc Jacob Strauss in a press release. He says that Kilde was operated on at the hospital in Switzerland on Saturday evening. – Further and more detailed information about the injuries will be given later. Source will be available to the media at a later date. Photo: CLAUDIA GRECO / Reuters Kilde has herself posted pictures from the hospital bed together with her girlfriend Mikaela Shiffrin. In the photo Kilde can be seen with a bruised face with one arm in a sling. – I am here and being looked after by Mikaela Shiffrin herself. Has been patched together. Thank you very much for all the messages. I am very grateful for all the loving and supportive words. This sport can be brutal, but I still love it, writes Kilde, concluding that he will share more at a later date. More ugly falls The update from the Ski Association comes the day after Norway’s big alpine star fell badly in Wengen. Kilde crashed into the safety net during the descent and lay down for a long time in great pain. After receiving medical treatment on the ground, the 31-year-old was transported by helicopter to the hospital in Bern. There was little information about Kilde’s condition on Saturday. Alpine manager Claus Ryste was tight-lipped and only said the following to news after the fall: – He is on his way to hospital. We will release more information when we have a better overview of the status. It will take some time. To Viaplay, he said “that it doesn’t get worse” than such falls: – I have seen many ugly falls, but you are really affected. That is the flip side of the coin in our sport. It is demanding. – Hope it’s the last time Kilde wasn’t the only Norwegian who fell in his descent on Saturday. In the women’s downhill, Kajsa Vickhoff Lie went into the safety net after jumping too far. Both women and men have had an extra World Cup race this week as a follow-up to previously postponed races. The fact that the Wengen downhill, which is the longest downhill during the season with a running time of over two and a half minutes, is run twice has caused several people to react. Several athletes, team managers and experts speak out against the tough race programme. – I hope this is the last time, never again three races in a row, Marco Odermatt could be heard saying on Viaplay’s broadcast, when the cameras passed the leader’s chair. The Swiss superstar, who won Saturday’s race, was among several who reacted to the fact that three speed races were run in a row in Wengen.
