The sounds were played by speakers as to give the feeling of having spectators.
No one was actually cheering.
@Samantha Crowther Yes, in Austria it was possible to download an app, virtually position ourselves along the track and make the sounds from the phone, they then played it through speakers. :)
I'm just shocked any human is capable of doing something that cool and difficult. Glad he's ok.
@david edbrooke-coffin Nowhere does my comment imply I haven't seen skiing before. A lot of people are in awe of what those people can do and my comment in regard to that led you to such a strange and offhand question.
In the same exact competition 3-4 numbers after Cochran-Siegle, Urs Kryenbuehl had a terrible fall at the final jump to the finish line, where they have speeds mid air of about 145-150km/h, was conscious but definitely injured, back/neck took all the impact
I ski myself, not anywhere near these guys level, but, falls on ice hurt, a lot, even if they seem okay, ice is painful to fall on
Heard that he may have fractured his neck but should be ok.
@@williammann9477 it was a filthy fall, catching air under/over the ski while in a jump is extremely dangerous, there have been skiers in induced comas after such incidents, and Streif is a challenging run, I’ve been there myself, it’s hard to stay on the skis there, let alone in the conditions they do it with extra water poured over for a faster and more icy slope so the ski edges even hold on, you need GS grade skis there at least as well, going down in slalom skis is suicidal, GS/DH only :P
@@m_swizzy22yep Scott McCarthy's crash still makes me feel I'll. I use to beat him at the Crysal Mt. DH. He was in his late teens, I was in my prime, 10 years older. I was thrilled to learn he made it to cup and was watching that day.
Cochran-Siegle, who was having a breakthrough season and won his first World Cup race at a super-G in December, planned to travel back to the United States for further medical examinations this week.
“Everything that I’ve seen so far and from what I’ve heard from the doctors is that it’s stable. There is still more information to be gathered but, all in all, I think it’s OK,” Cochran-Siegle said.
“Most of my body is fine, it’s just my neck,” said the American, adding he was “really not in pain” but had “just a slight discomfort” in his neck.
Cochran-Siegle sustained the minor neck fracture in a high-speed crash on the Streif, one of the most dangerous courses on the circuit.
He lost balance when he leaned back while landing a jump, slid off course and cut his way through the first row of safety nets. He was taken to hospital by helicopter.
i don’t think you challenge this course...
...you survive it
From this to Olympic silver, perseverance is eventually rewarded! Amazing Super-G race by both Mayer and Cochran.
Thank you for the fast Medical service for him🙏 One nasty tumble...Speedy recovery 🙏😇
Imagine it. Going at incredible speeds down a slope that only a handful of people can do. Then crashing and being lifted off a mountain dangling from a helicopter. Wild.
The life of an athlete is a life unlike any other!
Judging by the last few races this guy has two modes:
1) Crashing
2) Almost crashing
Glad I'm not insuring his health...
hahaahhahahahahahahah agree !
Almost crashing is how they all look. For any recreational skiier who has ALMOST lost control, seeing them do it for an entire double-black diamond is shocking. I'd be shitting bricks!
No choice but to go off course losing it over such a steep fall away turn. He did hit the net at a very fortunate angle.
Looks like he got tired and lost concentration.
Fatigue is definitely a huge factor, just leaned inside and the inside ski hooked over
yup. he didn’t absorb the takeoff well enough (probably also trying to make up time for his earlier mistake) then got too much air. he couldn’t absorb the flat off-camber landing without his knees going sideways which meant his skis arc’d across and uphill which threw his weight downhill. a classic highside
The utter edge of control, wow.
@Samantha Crowther oh for real. I’m a speed skater and when you are later in the pairings the ice is just chewed up. It’s so scary getting caught in the ruts!
Anybody who skis knows enough to be terrified by how chattery and unstable his turns are at that speed. It's what anybody else sounds like right before they totally lose control. Like you said, bare edge of control with razor sharp edges and locked bindings on a pre-flooded "race ice" surface. Because that's how you set speed records.
Did he break his neck?
Geez CBC sports, this is I think the fourth crash you've shown. I'd prefer it if you'd post the whole race or put it onto the App.
Hey Noquay. We definitely have the full races on the app if you're looking.
Didn't he know this was a "diamond run" ?
that run looked very icy
It truly was!
They make the runs as icy as possible. They put fertilizer on the surface to melt it a bit then it freezes rock hard.Soft snow equals slow.
donziperk ....and soft snow is also equalized with a higher risk of getting injuried. But you are right otherwise!
It aslways is, those are nothing like normal Ski slopes
@@donziperk ya pro racing runs are pre-frozen and absolutely horrifying to anybody who doesn't have very long + sharp skis and very good skills at carving at high speed. You'd fall flat on your face if you tried anything else.
I hope that he is okay 🙏
GOOD LUCK!!!
Yea he's luck all right he didn't get hurt
That course is diabolical
The greatest course in the world. Conditions on the other hand.
big player out of the game too bad
It probably hurt the most when he fell out of the bottom of the netting. He was about 5-6 feet in the air.
They need to install solid concrete barriers for more dramatic effect instead of those flimsy nets
stupid suits, stupid fast, stupid ice, stupid choppy.... why
Why not?
Am I the only one who noticed they said dowhill not downhill😂
You are the first, indeed! And as I go under the hood - you will be the last! 🤫
Hopefully he's alright.
minor broken neck per his Instagram. He's ok
@@EJayV72 Oh yeah.
Hard to believe there's such a thing as a "minor" broken neck.
@@CBCSports Nice recovery.
@@CBCSports I'm guessing spinous process?
good job
I was just reading that Canaidan skier Briam Semple succesfully sued Kitzbuhel for a lack of safety precautions after his horrific crash.
More cow bell
Мощно пробил
Да жаль хорошо жарил💪
Хорошее защита в несколько раз,в одну сетку пробил бы
When he came down over that bump he was sitting back.
Yeah, the setup from the previous turn was nasty. The Streif has some of the nastiest compressions on the circuit. Tough luck I guess
Actually just re-watched it and looks like he wasn’t really backseat. Just got thrown weird because it was off camber
I think he just didn’t have enough gas left in the tank to stand up when he landed. It’s right before the finish and he was really giving his all.
@@riverjumpfail368 yeah that probably played a big factor. He was charging in true RCS fashion. When you’re five gates from the finish even one of the strongest guys is susceptible to that stuff happening. Just look at what happened to Aksel.
@@Sick-o Yes, and if it could happen to Aksel Svindal it can happen to anyone (btw, their muscles are out of this world, remember how Svindal got up and just walked away with a knee without two ligaments? 😅)
Look like he locked his knees too soon. Knee took a big hit when he came down.
Pour moi, c'est juste un manque de puissance sur la jambe extérieur, c'est arrivé sur beaucoup de descentes à Luc Alphand. Il été très bon mais il tombait. Mon frère t moi on a skié avec lui, à Briançon, sa mère l'a obligé. Sur une descente ou lui met 58 secondes, j'en mets 114...et mon frère ainé en met 128. J'ai pris "un monde" par Luc mais j'ai battu mon frère ainé! Il est un spécialiste, je suis un descendeur. La même maman et le même père produisent des choses très diffèrentes
So lucky.
Alter Schwede
Caught an edge
These sounds effects are simply pathetic. Glad to see that Ryan is OK.
Agreed and agreed.
The first thing they do is pick up his ski.🤪🤪
When someone is unconscious you don't wanna touch him until someone expert in spinal trauma arrives, if they have a spinal fracture and you move them carelessly you could sever the nerves leaving them paralized. Not having much to do they did well in removing the skiis since they're basically blades lying around after a 145 km/h jump... and sometimes it can happen that the next skier is already on the course (when the race is short on time) so if they don't get stopped and were to fall on them, they could seriously die from bleedout
If I'm not mistaken long ago a skier died in Wengen because of blood loss just before the finish. He fell and his skiis severed a couple of major arteries, 30 seconds and there was nothing to do (well, you may argue there was nothing to do from the start, since it's unlikely that kind of trauma can be recomposed in such a short time)
Seems like he took that crash in the best way possible, all things considered. He'll be back soon.
Uhm sorry to tell you this but, he’s back and skiing again. This race was last year…
@@arandomthing2489 Why are you "sorry to tell me"? Sounds like all is good.
@@brianharder7714 idk lol, felt right to say
Lucky he didn't obliterate both his knees. That's the usual result when you crash in racing bindings at that speed.
I hope that he is okay 🙏
He suffered a minor neck injury, but he will supposedly be back in a few weeks or so.🤘
They really need to stop playing these sound effects! It sounds sooo fake
Just gonna leave this here... ruclips.net/video/ZAwxdchuN6Y/видео.html
The sound effects are a lot less fake than you'd think. They are generated (with a few seconds delay; which also explains the too long cheering after the crash) through a virtual audience participation system.
Basically you can download an app and vote on the cheer intensity and kind.

I see room for improvement in the design of that barrier system.
It's unusual to go into it face-first head-down.
Looks like they did a great job to me?
Incredible run and aggressive line. Looks like he was getting tired. Didn't have the legs to land that jump.
Who's the sad bastards cheering in the back ground as he's trying to recover from the catch fence - twats. Ryan's leg muscles would have been burning like hell at that point in the race & it's too easy to have such an incident. Get well soon & hope to see you racing in the very near future!
Due to corona virus restrictions there was no audience allowed. So the cheering, cowbells and horns were all, so to say, "canned" and coming from loudspeakers, because quite a few racers told the media and organisers that they would not like a completely silent race.
So it just took some time between his crash and someone reaching the pause button on the PA. So fortunately there were no "sad bastards" around, just a small delay.
Roten track
King Coumo would ban this in New York
Why are Americans so bad?
I miss Bode and Ligety.
They are gradually resurging this season.
Cochran-Siegle has been great this season, one of the best
He swings, he skids, he could not control bravely his skis, it s the typical gung ho American kamikaze, do or die, very dangerous, general training and team technique is not en pair to European alpine teams, or the ltalians in particular.
Surely you're only referring to the USA men's downhill team, correct?
He won a World Cup and has been in the top 10 multiple times this season...
Y don’t u ski the downhill as fast as these guys do?
@@dansprague2 basically the US ski team has outsiders, Billy Kidd,---1964 l was there...don t know much(?) Johnson, the Mahre brothers, ligety . Vonn, that lil blonde from Vermont can t recall her name.......not a higher level team as a whole like Switzerland, France, Austria, ltaly.
@@TheRockerxx69 Italy hasn't had a dominant skier since Tomba.
