I'm glad this summary exists. The FIS needs to make changes to the race schedule and daily schedules to allow racers time to recover. As Mikaela Shiffrin said, fatigue probably played a role in many of these crashes. Likewise, changes need to be made to the future Women's Olympic Downhill course at Cortina d'Ampezzo; that race was a bloodbath.

Shiffrin managed it perfectly. Assessed the situation, knew she was in trouble, hit the brakes and calculated the fall-slide. All at terrifying speed. Still a painful fall. The bad thing about high speed or high impact sports is that a few thousandths of a second or millimeters can cost you for the rest of your life. Or your whole life. But to excel, overcome and triumph at those risk levels....Thats also lifelong. Pros and Cons.

The pronunciation of most names (of both athletes and venues) is killing me. Nonetheless, hope all of the skiers have a speedy recovery, the crashes looked horrible..

Your channel is a god-send thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

great video keep uploading bro!

Hate to say it, but making the turns that fast to where many of these best Down Hill skiers in the whole wide world can not make that turn most of the time is just dead wrong and foolish by the slope designers. The slope designers couldn't even get down that designed slope the first 10 feet without busting their asses. These professional skiers make their livelihood doing this most dangerous sport. It's like a death wish by the slope designers just because they can't come close to skiing at this level. Should never design a turn this ridiculously made to purposely crash and damage these great Skiers.

There was a Romanian female racer in the same Cortina race that glanced off that fence and got tossed about 100m down the slope. Find the full race and look much later in the start order.

"2024 has already had some of the biggest ski crashes in history" yeah right, you might want to think about that statement.

Nice video, make more of fis.

Appears to me, a serious incompetance in course design.

can't believe you only have 1500 subscribers.

Love the clips of Ted Ligety on Stein’s Way at Deer Valley interspersed!!

Part of the problem is the FIS scheduling, also the poor weather and bad snow conditions, but the injuries are occurring on courses set far to tight and with poor terrain consideration. Television coverage has begun impacting race safety because the FIS now sets so that the TV cameras get the best coverage, regardless of racer safety!

That 90 degree sharp turn is a killer! Maybe need some adjust for the design ....

anyone who didnt get airborne will through that 90deg corner

Petra Vlhova was not racing a slalom course. I raced for 12 years and coached for another 5. Slalom has one gate per turn, no flag and you wear a face guard and poke guards to cross block the gates out of your way.

If I'm not mistaken, that same jump-followed-by-a-hard-turn at Cortina has been on previous fall/injury videos. I think they should change the course.

The year of the Jerry has come

Poorly designed course: huge jump followed by a curve so tight it is very difficult to make it when the snow is fast.
