Alpine skiing-World Cup champion Hirscher almost hit by drone (Reuters)
Four-time World Cup champion Marcel Hirscher has criticised the use of drones to film races after one crashed and almost hit him in a race at Madonna di Campiglio on Tuesday. Television pictures showed the Austrian in the middle of his second run in a World Cup slalom race when the drone crashed to the ground behind him, shattering into pieces. “This is horrible,” Hirscher, 26, said.
