Downhill mountain biker David Trummer crashed heavily during training and suffered several fractures. He told the "Steirerkrone" about his great stroke of luck, how he is doing now, how long he will have to stay in hospital and when he is planning his comeback.

"Just a moment, I'm just going to get out of the room quickly", David Trummer told the "Steirerkrone" when they reached him in hospital on Monday morning. The downhill mountain biker is still there for observation of his lungs. It remains to be seen for how long. "I hope I'll be allowed to go home again in the next few days." The 29-year-old crashed heavily in training the previous week.
