At the end of a chaotic training session where Cyprien Sarrazin and Pietro Zazzi were airlifted, Nils Allègre did not mince his words at the Eurosport microphone. The Haut-Alpin points out the poor preparation of the slope and the danger this causes for skiers.
“My opinion is clear, it is that they do not know how to prepare a track. They’ve been preparing trails for 40 years and they only know how to do dangerous things. I love downhill, when there is difficulty, speed, big jumps, in Kitzbühel they know how to do it, here it’s just dangerous. » Nils Allègre pulled out all the stops with the organizers of the Bormio World Cup. During the last training session, which saw Cyprien Sarrazin fall heavily, the skier from Serre-Chevalier spoke to Eurosport at the end of his run.

« One year away from organizing the Olympic Games, doing a track like that…”
The 4th in the last descent, in Val Gardena, adds: “I think it’s not respectful of the athletes. We arrive here, the track is already broken, at San Pietro we jump 55 meters if we don’t brake. Tomorrow (Saturday), I will be at the start, I assume the risks but I don’t find it right. One year away from organizing the Olympic Games, doing a track like that… They don’t deserve to have the Olympic Games here. » Strong and assertive words from the Haut-Alpin, which reflect what the athletes were already saying on Thursday. Words that we hear even more this Friday, after the falls of Cyprien Sarrazin, Josua Mettler, Kyle Negomir and Pietro Zazzi.
Men’s World Cup boss Markus Waldner is expected to speak in the afternoon, discussing the current conditions in Bormio.
