US sit-skier 'stable' after serious crash

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 08 Maret 2014 | 20.47

A US sit-skier is reportedly stable and conscious in hospital after a serious crash during Sochi's Paralympic Games.

Tyler Walker fell heavily during the men's sitting downhill competition at Rosa Khutor Alpine Centre on Saturday and had to be airlifted from the slopes.

The 27-year-old cartwheeled several times at high speed and lay motionless on the snow before receiving attention from medical staff.

"#TeamUSA's Tyler Walker (@tbone_walker) is stable and conscious after crash in men's downhill (sitting) at #Paralympics," US Paralympics tweeted.

Competition was stopped several times as nine athletes of the men's 22-person sitting class crashed out.

They use a bucket-like seat on a mono ski, using outriggers to steer, and can race at speeds of up to 100km/h.
