Emma Aicher vinder sølv i olympisk udfor i Cortina

I den olympiske udfor i Cortina d’Ampezzo sikrede den tyske skiløber Emma Aicher Tysklands første medalje med sølv. Hun trailed amerikanske Breezy Johnson med kun 0,04 sekunder, mens USA-stjernen Lindsey Vonn fik et alvorligt styrt. Hændelsen overskyggede løbet.

Den 22-årige Emma Aicher fejrede karrierens største succes med sølv i udfor i Cortina d’Ampezzo – Tysklands første individuelle alpineskimedalje til OL på tolv år. Kun verdensmesteren Breezy Johnson fra USA var 0,04 sekunder hurtigere, mens bronzen gik til italienske Sofia Goggia på +0,59 sekunder. Holdkammeraten Kira Weidle-Winkelmann endte på niendepladsen med +1,16 sekunder. Løbet i Dolomitterne blev overskygget af Lindsey Vonns dramatiske styrt. Den 41-årige amerikaner styrtede tidligt efter en fejl ved et spring, hagede armen i en port og mistede kontrollen. Hun ramte hårdt, skreg af smerte og blev fløjet med redningshelikopter. Vonn stillede op trods brudt korsbånd, med delvis protese i højre knæ og skinne på venstre. Aicher beskrev følelsen: « Det føltes rigtig vildt. Hvert spring rev mig itu. Jeg kan ikke helt vurdere det endnu », sagde hun til ZDF under pausen efter Vonns styrt. Om hændelsen sagde hun: « Jeg kiggede væk med det samme. » Tidligere pro Felix Neureuther kommenterede på ARD: « Hun tog helt klart chancer fra toppen. Det var frygten jeg havde, at hun ville prøve at gå over grænsen i netop dette ene løb. » Aicher, den største håb for det tyske alpinhold i årevis, debuterede for fem år siden i Cortina til VM med bronze i holdkonkurrencen. I 2022 vandt hun OL-sølv med holdet ; sidste marts kom hendes første verdenscupsejr, og to mere i sæsonen. Tredjepladsen i verdenscupens samlet, har hun chancer i holdkombination, super-G og slalom. Tilskuere holdt vejret, inklusive Vonns far, søster og rapstjernen Snoop Dogg.
