Feuz, second in the World Cup last season, is currently in a stable condition in hospital in Bern.

The 25-year-old, who won four races in the 2011/12 season, became aware of the problem at the opening giant slalom of the season in Soelden where he did not compete.

The situation took a turn for the worse last weekend and Feuz was transported to the Insel Hospital in Bern.
