Cyprien Sarrazin Out of Intensive Care After Crash

French skier Cyprien Sarrazin has been released from intensive care following a serious crash during training for the World Cup downhill in Bormio, Italy. He underwent surgery for a subdural hematoma after hitting protective netting on December 27. The French Ski Federation reported that he is stable, but a long recovery and rehabilitation period lies ahead, with the duration of his absence from competition still unknown. Sarrazin, who had a successful season last year with multiple victories, is set to be repatriated to France for further treatment. The incident raised concerns about the safety of the Bormio course, which has faced criticism from athletes, especially with the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics in mind. Other skiers have also suffered serious injuries in recent training sessions, prompting discussions about course preparation standards.
