Swiss skier Marc Gisin is hospitalized in the intensive care unit of a hospital in Switzerland after his horrific crash during the World Cup downhill competition Saturday in Selva di Val Gardena, Italy. Gisin was “stable enough” that he could be flown to Switzerland on Saturday night, the Swiss ski team said in a statement. Gisin lay motionless on the course and was taken off the mountain by a rescue helicopter. Marc Gisin is taken off the mountain during the FIS Alpine World Cup Men Downhill in the Italian Alps. Dominique Gisin was the downhill gold medalist at the 2014 Sochi Olympics and Michelle won gold in the combined event at the PyeongChang Games last February.
