"It's a small miracle that I've recovered so well and so quickly," emphasized the 30-year-old. He has "no more neurological consequences" from the brain haemorrhage. However, he still sees double sometimes. He can still feel his knee and back.

Until his serious training crash in Bormio in December, Sarrazin was considered one of Marco Odermatt's biggest rivals in the speed disciplines. Then, on December 27, he lost control as he entered the final section, took off over a bump and hit his back and head heavily on the hard piste from a great height.

"I could have died," the athlete commented on the crash on Monday. It remains to be seen whether there will be any more thrilling duels in the World Cup. "Taking up the sport again is one of my goals." However, he couldn't say when that might be. "Skiing again, yes. But as a competitor? I don't know," said Sarrazin.
