Russian Federation skicross racer Maria Komissarova's condition remains "serious but stable" following surgery.
The 23-year old, who suffered a serious injury during training at the PSX Olympic skicross venue at Rosa Khutor Extreme Park yesterday, had to undergo an operation on her broken back.
Komissarova had a metal implant inserted during the six-hour procedure and is now said to be recovering.
"Everything will be done to treat her as effectively as possible and for her rapid recovery," the Russia Freestyle Skiing Federation is quoted as saying by Reuters.
"Maria Komissarova's condition, as before, is serious but stable. But the night passed satisfactorily."
International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach had earlier maintained that the accident was not a result of the Sochi infrastructure.
