"Decision Concrete" - Sarrazin Names Comeback Date
In December 2024, the French downhill skier sustained a severe head injury in Bormio; in November 2026, he is targeting his World Cup return.
It's almost two years since a serious crash in Bormio nearly ended Cyprien Sarrazin's skiing career.
The Frenchman, who hit his head on the rock-hard Stelvio, suffered, among other injuries, a brain hemorrhage during his fall, was briefly in a coma, and struggled with the aftermath of his crash for a very long time – however, Sarrazin is now on the verge of his comeback in the Alpine Ski World Cup.
Training Camp Exceeded Expectations
The training camp in Ushuaia, Argentina, went exceptionally well, according to the 31-year-old.
"I realized that I can handle quite a lot of situations. That exceeded my expectations, and I've returned with great conviction," Sarrazin explained to "Eurosport".
Copper Mountain Start Possible
It is therefore already clear for the Frenchman: he will definitely be on site for the season's first World Cup speed race, the Super-G in Copper Mountain on November 28.
"Before, it was a hope to re-enter in Copper Mountain – today, the decision to race is concrete," Sarrazin confirmed. However, the final decision about a start will only be made after the on-site training sessions.
