“F*** you Daniel! F*** you Daniel!” Saturday evening, during the draw for bibs for the slalom in the French resort, Henrik Kristoffersen was still angry. The conditions of the second round of the giant held earlier in the day had been difficult and the Norwegian had slipped from 2nd to 5th place.
Which he logically had difficulty digesting.
“Henrik came to the draw complaining loudly because, in his opinion, the giant slalom amounted to a scandal. It became too much for me. I told him to stop complaining. Henrik then shouted at me twice to go fuck myself…, Yule then detailed, in the columns of Blick. He’s like that, Henrik…”
This Monday, the Norwegian defused tensions. “If you tease the bear and it gets angry, what do you expect?,” Kristoffersen told Dagbladetthe Norwegian daily newspaper. Several of us were a little nervous after Saturday’s giant slalom. There is also no doubt that it was unfair. I also spoke about it to an important official of the International Federation.”
The three-time slalom World Cup winner then developed his skirmish with Yule. “The FIS makes so many inconsistent decisions… And there, there is Daniel Yule who comments: “Neflix should have been there by now!” I guess that’s how it started. He thought I was complaining… When he didn’t even participate in the giant slalom!
“But I spoke to him on the phone Sunday night. Everything is perfectly fine between us, Kristoffersen told his national daily. There is nothing wrong with this. Perhaps we need a little more intrigue in our sport, actually. I don’t think many people would have watched ‘Drive to Survive’ on Netflix if Max Verstappen hadn’t asked people to go to hell…”
