Winter Games venue blasted after accidents

The 30-year-old was airlifted to hospital to treat a subdural haematoma on Dec 27 after he crashed into protective netting while training for the Dec 28-29 World Cup meeting in Bormio, Italy.

"He is stable," French ski team doctor Stephane Bulle said in an FFS statement.

"He has come out of intensive care and is undergoing regular hospital treatment.

"A scan performed on Dec 31 paves the way for him to be repatriated on Friday, Jan 3, and placed in the neurological service in a hospital in Lyon."

Sarrazin enjoyed his best campaign on the World Cup circuit last season, with four victories, including a downhill win at Bormio.
