Heavy fall in Bormio: Ski stars are calling for slopes!

in the Ski World Cup in Bormio there was a dramatic incident when French skier Cyprien Sarrazin fell hard during the second training session. He lost control and crashed into his back and head with full force after he was lifted out by a bump. His fall was so violent that the safety net was cut and that he only came to a standstill on the slope. Sarrazin was immediately flown to the hospital with the helicopter, where he was diagnosed with an intracranial hematoma, i.e. brain hemorrhage. He was still operated on Friday evening, as Today. reported.

The French Ski Association FFS announced on Saturday morning that the operation had been successful and that Sarrazin would remain in anesthesia for the time being. It is shocking that this accident also affected other drivers in the same training run, including the Italian Pietro Zazzi, who tackled a shin and fabric broken. In Response to the previous incidents, several ski stars expressed sharp criticism of the slopes. Justin Murisier and Nils Allègre criticized the dangerous conditions and the lack of respect for the athletes. "The slope is very icy, other areas are dark. Driving here is a fight from top to bottom," Murisier told Eurosport, as in a report by tagblatt.ch .
