Cyprien Sarrazin falls heavily during training descent in Bormio

The 30-year-old skier flew off a bump and then bounced violently on the slope, before ending his race in the tarpaulins and protective nets after a long slide. Sarrazin, world No. 2 in downhill and winner of four races last winter, was joined by the emergency services and then taken to hospital by helicopter. No information was yet available on his state of health, but the French Federation (FFS) said he was conscious. Cyprien Sarrazin reportedly complained of pain in one foot.
