CNN —Norwegian skier Aleksander Aamodt Kilde posted a picture from his hospital bed after suffering a “brutal” full-speed crash and being airlifted off the slopes during a World Cup downhill race in Switzerland.
Medics rushed to Kilde, the 2020 overall World Cup champion, before he was airlifted to hospital by helicopter, according to Reuters.
On Sunday, Kilde posted a picture of himself in hospital with cuts to his face alongside his partner, ski legend Mikaela Shiffrin.
“I’m here (and being taken care of by the one and only Mikaela Shiffrin),” he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“The best pain killer,” Pinturault wrote on X, posting a picture of him with his new-born baby.
