Four-time Olympic snowboarder Cam Bolton was airlifted to a hospital in Milan after he suffered a broken neck while training for the snowboard cross event on Thursday.
Bolton, 35, crashed Monday but walked away from the incident without realizing the gravity of his injury, ESPN reported. The following day, he had increasing pain in his neck, and scans later revealed that he suffered two fractures in his neck.
He was airlifted from the mountains to Milan for further treatment.
Team chef de mission Alisa Camplin provided a positive update on Bolton’s condition, adding that she was “proud of the level of care” he’s been receiving.
“Cam wanted to make his teammates understood what was happening and that he was fine and doing well and being looked after well,” she said, via ESPN. “He knows how seriously we’re taking the process of support around him and the communication has been really good.”
“Cam is in a stable condition and remains in good spirits,” the Australian Olympic Committee added in a statement to Reuters Wednesday. “The Australian Olympic medical team is working with local doctors and neurospecialists in Australia to determine next steps for further assessment and treatment.”
