“This is the best news we could have received”. These are the words of Aleksander Stoeckl, head coach of the Norwegian team, but it is the whole world of ski jumping that can only breathe a huge sigh of relief regarding the condition of Daniel-André Tande, hospitalized last Thursday at the hospital University of Ljubljana, following the terrible fall remedied in the training jump preceding the flight competition on skis in Planica.
At dawn today, the process of awakening from artificial coma has been completed and the Norwegian champion is fine, he has recognized his mother and girlfriend and there is confidence for a full recovery, after suffering the fracture of the collarbone and the perforation of a lung. “He is fine and we can only thank all the medical staff in Planica and Ljubljana, they did an exceptional job,” sporting director of the norge jumping team, Clas Brede Braathen, told NRK.
Fifty-nine minutes after the impact on the snow of the Planica ski jump, Tande was already hospitalized in the intensive care unit at the Ljubljana hospital. “I hope Daniel can go home soon and recover 100%,” added Aleksander Stoeckl, who for now is only thinking about the boy's health, even before the athlete.
