Martin Nordqvist sist efter dubbla krascher i big air-finalen

Martin Nordqvist, 22-åringen från Kiruna, missade sina två första landningar i OS-finalen i big air i Livigno på grund av krascher. Han slutade sist av de tolv åkarna i den snöiga finalen. Trots resultatet visade hans kvalinsats på en ljus framtid för svensk freeski.

I den snöiga OS-finalen i big air i Livigno föll Martin Nordqvist, OS-debutanten från Kiruna, efter sina två första hopp. Snön vräkte ner under finalen, vilket bidrog till de svåra förhållandena. Nordqvist, 22 år gammal, kraschade i landningen efter det första hoppet och igen efter det andra, vilket ledde till att han slutade sist av de tolv åkarna.

Efter de två krascherna handlade det för Nordqvist om att försöka njuta av upplevelsen och sätta det sista hoppet. “Jag visste redan att det var över och försökte bara ta in alla intryck,” säger debutanten Martin Nordqvist.

Trots det svaga resultatet i finalen imponerade Nordqvist i kvalet, där han visade fin insats. Detta tyder på att framtiden för svensk freeski är ljus, enligt rapporteringen.
