"We are in good spirits"
Breathe a sigh of relief! Cyprien Sarrazin no longer in a coma
Speed ace Cyprien Sarrazin has undergone successful head surgery following his serious crash in the downhill training in Bormio and is now conscious again. The 30-year-old is awake and his condition is stable, the French federation announced on Saturday afternoon.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Sarrazin had been operated on Friday evening due to a subdural haematoma, a haemorrhage between two meninges, and remained in an induced coma for the time being.
During the neurosurgical procedure at the Sondalo hospital near Bormio, the doctors inserted a drain to allow the blood to drain away. According to French team doctor Stephane Bulle, Sarrazin will remain in hospital for observation for an indefinite period after the operation.

"His condition is good, better than yesterday," explained race doctor Mario Teruzzi, who works at the Bormio races, on Saturday evening. The computer tomography scan of his skull was also good in view of what had happened. "We are in good spirits."
Sarrazin had lost control on a bump in training and slid into a safety net with enormous force. The winner of five World Cup races was then transported away by helicopter and treated in the neurological intensive care unit of the Italian hospital. Sarrazin had won the Bormio downhill last year. Last winter, the Frenchman also triumphed in both Kitzbühel downhill races and the super-G in Wengen.
