Jeeze - gold medal Norwegian ski jumper - jeeze -

from news:

Olympic gold medalist ski jumper Daniel-Andre Tande was hospitalized and put into a medically induced coma after a horrifying crash at an event in Slovenia Thursday.

"The Norwegian ski star lost control during his jump at the Ski Jumping World Cup in Planica and fell hard onto the snow before tumbling down the slope. Medical personnel examined him for 30 minutes and gave him oxygen. A helicopter then airlifted him to a hospital in Ljubljana, the Slovenian capital."

Dr. Tomislav Mirkovic said Tande’s "preliminary tests are very promising."

Officials said there would be an update at some point Friday.

Tande was on the gold-medal men’s large hill team during the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics. He’s also taken home gold medals in the 2016, 2018 and 2020 World Championships and silver in 2017.
