The Norwegian had been in a coma for several days in the Slovenian capital Ljubljana after his fall in March.
The Norwegian ski jumper Daniel-Andre Tande is training on the hill again five months after his serious fall while ski flying in Planica. “It's fantastic to finally be able to jump again,” said Tande in a video published by the World Federation FIS on Tuesday. “I'm a bit surprised that the level of my jumps seems to be pretty good.”

Tande had been in a coma for several days in the Slovenian capital Ljubljana after his fall in March. He suffered a broken collarbone and a punctured lung. The doctors also found four internal cerebral hemorrhages. “If they had been bigger, I could have woken up like a completely different person,” the 27-year-old had said last.
Tande had been looking forward to his first training jumps for a long time. “It was difficult for me to see my teammates jumping and just watch,” he said. “When I got changed, I was a little more nervous than usual.” Then everything was back to normal on the hill.
