After his serious fall while ski flying in Planica, ski jumper Daniel André Tande is slowly being brought out of his artificial coma.
The wake-up process started on Saturday, but it is a time-consuming process, said the Norwegian Ski Association on Sunday morning.
The 27-year-old will continue to be treated in the university hospital in Ljubljana, Norway's sports director Clas Brede Braathen was with him while he woke up.
"The situation with Daniel is stable," explained the team doctor of the Norwegian ski jumpers, Guri Ranum Ekås.
Follow-up examinations were made to ensure the best possible recovery process from the coma.
"There is no drama associated with the process," the doctor from the ski association was quoted as saying.
