Sadly crashing out at over 100mph (video above) during his final race, see below what Karl had to say about his last experience in competitive Speed Skiing

Reposted from @karlski_odwyer: It wasn’t the way I wanted the world championships to go but I’m happy to only have a sprained thumb and brusing from a crash over 100mph. Lack of skiing and windy conditions didn’t do me any favours.
Thanks @vars_fob medics for all the help
