It was during the weave poles in yesterday’s super combined Svindal was unlucky and got himself a stretch when he ran out.

For a while you unsure about he would manage to drive off today – which is one of the highlights of the season.

– I’ve driven with similar injury before, explains Svindal.

He is in good spirits when NRK meet him before the inspection Saturday morning. Alpinisten will use it as a last test, but estimated that he runs today’s competition.

33-year-old says he immediately realized what had happened when he ran out yesterday.

– I’ve done it before on dryland training. It feels osm some almost shoot you in baklåret, he describes.

Can be subjected

The evening yesterday was used for therapy in the team’s physiotherapist.

– The hurts when slaggete, then shakes it. But it’s not a pain that is dangerous. With a bit of adrenalin I think it should go smoothly, he said.

– Is it really possible to run such a tough downhill with pain?

– Yes, that’s it. I’m 99.9 percent, and then I will do it, says Svindal with a smile.
