One of his first acts came from the heart.
When he woke up from the artificial coma on Monday night and was reasonably clear, Daniel André Tande sought contact with his girlfriend and mother, who had come to see him on Sunday.
"Thanks to the fantastic people in Planica for their first aid and the University Hospital in Ljubljana," said Clase Brede Brathen, head of the ski jumping department of the Norwegian Ski Association: "He is fully conscious and everything is fine."
Tande had lost control of his jump in the trial run on Thursday while ski flying in Planica and hit the slope violently.
He has previously been diagnosed with a broken collarbone and a slight puncture of the lungs.
He was put into an artificial coma in the hospital in the Slovenian capital.
The doctors originally wanted to get him out of the coma on Friday.
On Saturday it was first said that Tande could breathe independently again.
The process of waking up began on Sunday.
Guri Ranum Ekas, the team doctor for the Norwegian ski jumpers, reported on Sunday afternoon that Tande “made eye contact, he moves and reacts to speech”.
On Monday morning Ekas announced that he had been taken off the ventilator at around six o'clock.
"Everything went well," she said.
Tande's fall was his own fault

The national coach of the Scandinavians, Alexander Stöckl, had already given hope that the 27-year-old would get away without any permanent health problems.
A brain scan and neck examination did not produce any worrying findings.
Tande was intubated and mechanically ventilated after his fall.
Stöckl did not blame the external conditions or the jury for Tande's horror fall.
“We analyzed the video.
It was his own mistake, ”said the 47-year-old.
“He was too aggressive in the first flight phase,” added the Austrian and explained: “He got wide on his skis relatively quickly and then leaned a little on the air.
Then he lost contact with the skis.
You can't really find anything there, except your own fault. "Actually, Tande had" very good conditions. "As individual world champion in 2018 and team world champion in 2020, Tande is one of the best ski jumpers in the world.
