30-Year-Old Cyprien Sarrazin Hospitalized After Serious Fall During Bormio Training, Undergoes Successful Surgery for Subdural Hematoma
Dec 27, 2024, 07:00 PM
French skier Cyprien Sarrazin was seriously injured during a training session for the World Cup downhill race at Bormio, Italy. Following a heavy fall, he was airlifted to a hospital where he was reported to be conscious but suffering from a subdural hematoma. Sarrazin, 30, was evacuated after losing control during a jump on the challenging Stelvio slope, which is also set to host events for the 2026 Winter Olympics. The French Ski Federation confirmed that he underwent successful surgery to drain the hematoma and remains under observation in intensive care. His condition has raised concerns regarding the safety of the Bormio slope, with fellow skier Nils Allègre criticizing its preparation and calling it dangerous. Sarrazin's recovery timeline remains uncertain as he is currently in an induced coma following the operation.
