KITZBUEHEL, Austria (AP) - Swiss skier Daniel Albrecht has been injured in a bad crash in downhill training on the legendary Streif downhill course in Kitzbuehel.
Albrecht lost control Thursday after flying through the air for over 40 yards and came to a stop near the finish line.
He received medical attention for several minutes before being airlifted by helicopter to a local hospital.
The extent of his injuries was unclear.
The crash was similar to that of American Scott Macartney last year on the Streif.
