Sarrazin ski star after falling: I almost died!

Gap, Frankreich - The French ski racing driver Cyprien Sarrazin fights for a complete return to his normal life after a severe fall in Bormio. The accident occurred on December 27, 2024 and led to an operation due to bleeding near the brain. As Sarrazin explained in a public appearance in Marseille, his quick recovery was a "miracle". "I almost died," remarked the five-time World Cup winner and emphasized that he was aware that he was "not far from a disaster".

The 30-year-old is currently in a rehabilitation center in France, where he concentrates intensively on his recovery. He reports that although there is no more neurological consequences of his accident, he sometimes sees twice and continues to feel pain in the knee and back in the back. However, eyesight improve from day to day. Sarrazin, who was considered a great speed competitor of the Swiss ski star Marco Odermatt and had won the departures in Bormio, Wengen and Kitzbühel last season, sees his sporting future as unsafe. "Ski again, yes. But as a competitor? I don't know," said the athlete.

rehabilitation progress

The rehabilitation phase has been running for several weeks after Sarrazin was brought back to France at the beginning of the year. He has received a lot of support and finds it helpful that he cannot remember the fall and the operation. This memory loss could help him avoid post -traumatic stress disorders. Sarrazin is optimistic and, as he says, looks at the positive of the situation. Whether he will finally celebrate a comeback in the World Cup remains open.

For many fans, the hope that the talented athlet, who is known for his triumphal features, will soon return. The next few months will be crucial to observe his progress. Like welt.de and vienna.at reported, there is creative uncertainty about his future competitiveness.
