Surgery for French skier Sarrazin 'went well': federation

The 30-year-old lost control of his skis and slammed into the snow before sliding into protective netting on Friday while training for the World Cup downhill race being held this weekend in Bormio, Italy. Sarrazin was airlifted to hospital and the FFS initially said he was "conscious" before later revealing that he sustained internal bleeding in his head from the impact. "Cyprien Sarrazin was operated on overnight to reduce pressure from the intercranial haematoma," the federation said in a statement.
