SKI-WORLD-MEN-AUT-TRAINING-GRUGGER
Austria's Hans Grugger lies on stretcher as he arrives at Kitzbuehel's hospital after he seriously crashed during the training run for the men's Alpine Skiing World Cup downhill event at the 71st Hahnenkamm race in Kitzbuehel on January 20, 2011. Grugger has undergone an operation on serious head injuries, sustained during the fall in training. Grugger, starting fifth, hit the renowned Mausefalle (mousetrap) jump, just seconds after the start, at top speed and flew high. The 29-year-old, who has four World Cup victories to his name and finished 22nd in the Olympic downhill last year, tried to right himself for a better line into next sharp turn, but only succeeded in winging his skis across the slope. Grugger then tumbled and slid for 30 meters before coming to a halt, seemingly unconscious. He received immediate treatment on the course before being airlifted off the course by helicopter to Innsbruck hospital. AFP PHOTO / CALLE TOERNSTROEM
