 Morgenstern, who won two gold medals at the 2006 Turin Olympics
and one more at the Vancouver Games four years later, crashed at the
venue in Titisee-Neustadt after landing and losing one ski.
He slid down, hitting his head in the process before briefly
managing to stand up and falling back down. He was treated nearby
before being taken to hospital in Freiburg.
An Austrian skiing federation official told reporters the
27-year-old was conscious and was able to move.
On Saturday Morgenstern had clinched his first World Cup win of the
season at the German venue to move into third place in the overall
standings.
