Overview
- The crash happened in mid-April when Kranjec fell from his bicycle and was first treated in Jesenice before being airlifted to a clinic in Ljubljana for spinal surgery.
- Local police confirmed a blood-alcohol reading of about 2.5‰ at the time of the accident.
- Surgeons say his condition stabilized after the operation and he can sense his lower body but currently cannot move his feet, so he is using a wheelchair.
- Family social posts and photos show gradual improvement and at-home care, while the Slovenian Ski Federation says a long and demanding rehabilitation will begin.
- Treating doctors express cautious optimism that intensive, prolonged rehab might allow walking in the long term and the ski community has urged public support during his recovery.
