Downhill star Aleksander Aamodt Kilde crashed hard into the fences within sight of the finish in the long Lauberhorn race in the World Cup on Saturday and seemed to have injured his right leg before being airlifted to a hospital.
For the second straight day at Wengen, a former men’s overall World Cup champion was carried away by helicopter from Switzerland’s most storied ski venue.
