Frenchman undergoes surgery
Sarrazin in intensive care after Bormio crash
Speed ace Cyprien Sarrazin suffered a so-called subdural hematoma, a hemorrhage near the brain, in his bad crash during training in Bormio on Friday. According to the French federation, he is currently in intensive care.
As the federation announced in a press release, the 30-year-old is currently being treated in an Italian hospital. He is conscious and being monitored, said a French team doctor. As the FIS announced on Friday evening, Sarrazin will be operated on in the next few hours.
Hit on the slope
Sarrazin had taken off when entering the final section and hit his back and head heavily on the hard piste from a great height. The Frenchman slid motionlessly down the steep slope, cut the safety net with his skis and only then came to a standstill.
The emergency services were quickly on the scene and the 30-year-old was eventually transported away by helicopter. Training had to be interrupted for a long time. Vincent Kriechmayr, who started after him, was waved off with a yellow flag.
