Reichhelt out

Austria will take speed skier Joachim Puchner to Sochi after medal-hopeful Hannes Reichelt had to drop out at the last minute due to a back injury. Puchner, 26, will be one of 22 skiers sent by Austria to the Olympic Games on February 7-23, the maximum quota allowed per competing nation. His Olympic ticket comes after Reichelt announced on Monday, just two days after winning the prestigious Kitzbuehel downhill, that he would miss Sochi and the rest of the season due to a spinal disc problem requiring surgery. Austria will send a record 130-strong contingent to the Games in Russia.
