Frenchman Cyprien Sarrazin suffered a heavy fall on Friday 27 December during the second training session before the World Cup downhill in Bormio (Italy), which he won just one year ago.

Sarrazin, who had the best time in the first training session the day before, lost control of his skis on a ground movement in the final while he was leading in all the intermediates.

The 30-year-old skier literally flew over a bump and then bounced violently on the slope, before ending his race in the tarpaulins and protective nets after a long slide.

His health status is still unknown

The Frenchman, world number 2 in downhill last winter and winner of four races last winter, was joined by the emergency services. No information was yet available on his health status.

A downhill on Saturday and a super-G on Sunday are on the program for the Bormio stage, one of the most difficult slopes on the circuit where the men's alpine skiing events at the 2026 Olympic Games in Milan Cortina will take place.
