French Skier Cyprien Sarrazin Leaves Intensive Care

French skier Cyprien Sarrazin is in stable condition after undergoing surgery for a head injury sustained during a training crash at the World Cup downhill event in Bormio, Italy. The 30-year-old was airlifted to the hospital with a subdural hematoma and has since been discharged from intensive care, preparing for repatriation to France for further treatment. His crash, along with two others on the same day, has raised concerns about the safety of the notoriously difficult Stelvio slope, which will host events at the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics. Sarrazin's teammate, Nils Allegre, criticized the course preparations, stating that they have a history of creating dangerous slopes. The French Ski Federation confirmed that Sarrazin's recovery will be lengthy and that no other injuries were reported. Another injured skier, Pietro Zazzi, suffered a double leg fracture and is also undergoing treatment.
