The former junior world champion Filip Gravenfors crashed into the "goalpost" and injured himself when he drove the World Championship semifinal in Swiss Engadin.

It doesn't hurt too much, but my knee is quite unstable. And I feel it starting to swell. The crash wasn't so nice, says Gravenfors.

He drove up to the starting line to drive a run for the bronze against Matt Graham, Australia, but chose to just take himself down the hill slowly. Thus, it became a fourth place for the Swede.

I'm not thinking so much about it (missing the bronze). Right now I'm just thinking about how my body is, says Gravenfors, who this season has taken four third places in the World Cup.

The World Championship gold was taken by Mikael Kingsbury, Canada, and the silver went to Ikuma Horishima, Japan.
