Olympic snowboarder Mark McMorris set to compete after bad fall
LIVIGNO, Italy — Canadian snowboarder Mark McMorris said he's "coming around and starting to feel like myself again" after suffering a concussion and pelvic injuries during a nasty fall in training on the big air course before the Milan Cortina Olympics started.
In an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday, McMorris said he lost consciousness when he fell eight days earlier during training for the contest that opened the action at Livigno Snow Park last week.
"We've been doing a lot of different tests and taking all the necessary steps to make sure I'm in good shape," he said. "I'm thankful to have passed all those tests and, at the end of the day, to be feeling good and feeling confident to get back out there."
