Drama at the UCI DH World Cup Finals: Why Loic Bruni Shocked Fans by Sitting Out His Final Run
""When Jackson [Goldstone] came down in first, I knew I had to be in the top 3 or top 5, and I just did not have that in me," said Bruni in an interview with the UCI. "My leg was absolutely not working, and I want to go home to the baby, so I decided not to be absolutely stupid," continued Bruni, "it's tough - not to give it away, but not to be up for the fight on the last day of the whole season.""
""It sucks to go out this way, but Jackson deserves all the success he's seeing. Huge congratulations to him, and it was super fun to be doing this battle with him all season," said"
Loic Bruni qualified fastest but did not start his final run at the Mont‑Saint‑Anne World Cup round, effectively conceding the overall title. Bruni sustained an injury during practice and reported that his leg was not working, prompting him to return to the gondola rather than risk further harm. Jackson Goldstone posted the fastest time of the day after Andreas Kolb held the lead for much of the session. Spectators and competitors reacted with shock and palpable emotion as Bruni prioritized recovery and family over attempting the final run on the last day of the season.
