Sister gives update: This is how Marc Gisin is feeling

“He is very stable. We also think he is doing better,” said Michelle Gisin on Tuesday after the women’s downhill at the same place. “Everything looks much better than we thought at first,” added the Swiss.

“What we can say for sure is that it is very stable,” explained Gisin. “Yesterday I spoke for a long time on the phone with my girlfriend and with my mom and dad. They also think he's starting to understand what's going on. He already has a severe concussion, but it's not as serious as it was after Kitz." In 2015, Gisin suffered a traumatic brain injury in a fall on the "Streif".

“The fun is minus a hundred thousand” Michelle Gisin

Gisin drove to the accident route on Monday, two days after her brother's fall, and completed both training runs on the Saslong. On Tuesday she finished 18th in the race. “Seeing all this is very unpleasant, and driving down isn’t much nicer at first,” she told journalists on Tuesday. “It was okay today anyway. I wanted to do a little too well in the race.”

Gisin is finding skiing very difficult at the moment. “I also do so many races because I just enjoy doing it so much. But of course, at that moment the fun is minus one hundred thousand,” explained the 25-year-old. She still competes in races because her brother would also tell her to pull herself together, said Gisin. “I try to make the best of it and reconcile the family with the slopes as much as possible.”
