Austrian skier Matthias Lanzinger will have his left leg amputated after breaking it during a World Cup race in Norway on Sunday.
Lanzinger crashed during the super-G race on the Olympiabakken course and finished in the safety net.
The Austrian ski federation said: "As a result of irreparable tissue damage an amputation to avoid lasting serious damage is unavoidable."
It said the operation would take place on Tuesday morning in Oslo. Czechs dismiss FPOe hint at alleged tie between APC deal, Temelin ...
