With the opening of the 2026 Milan/Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics just around the corner, it occurred due to a series of crashes by athletes at the prelude to the World Cup ski competition. Martemonsen, 26, of Norway, was in a major accident that blew his helmet away.
Britain's "The Sun" recently suffered a dangerous accident in the women's downhill race at the International Ski Federation (FIS) Alpine World Cup in Krang Montana, Switzerland, on the 30th (Korea time).
Monsen lost his balance during the game and crashed hard into the safety fence at high speed. The helmet Monsen was wearing came off and flew into the air as to how big the impact was.
Medical staff were rushed to check the condition, and Monsen suffered severe bruises and wounds around his nose, mouth, and right eye. Eventually, he was carried down the slope on a sled stretcher and immediately transferred to a nearby hospital for a thorough examination.
On this day, the slope was a "snowfield of fear" itself. This is because it was extremely difficult to secure a view and target the course due to the recent new construction and difficult light reflection conditions.
Monsen wasn't the only one who had an accident. "The Returned Ski Empress" Lindsey Vonn (41, USA) also lost control and was trapped in a safety fence during the landing process after jumping. Bonn went to the medical tent complaining of knee pain, and was on alert for his participation in the Olympics. Nina Ortlieb of Austria also suffered an eye bruise in the crash.
The organizers of the tournament recognized the seriousness of the situation after as many as three of the first six players had major accidents in a row. After re-examining the course condition, the organizers ultimately decided to "completely cancel" the game to protect the players.
Monsen, who debuted at the 2018 World Junior Championships in fifth place, has been attracting attention as a "brother and sister skier" along with his brother Marcus, but the injury has made it impossible to guarantee his participation in the Olympics.
