Kilde was airlifted to a hospital after crashing near the finish line of the longest course on the World Cup circuit. Odermatt and Sarrazin were much faster than any other racer, starting back-to-back just minutes before Kilde. Kilde was the overall World Cup champion in 2020 and is the long-time partner of American star Mikaela Shiffrin. He had lengthy treatment on his right leg before helicopter landed in the finish area to carry him away.
