Czech skier Tereza Nova underwent brain surgery and was placed in a medically induced coma after crashing in training for Saturday’s World Cup women’s downhill in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

The Czech ski federation said Nova needed surgery to reduce brain swelling at a hospital in nearby Murnau after she went down in the final training session on the Kandahar course on Friday.
