Norwegian ski jumper Daniel-Andre Tande has woken up from a medically-induced coma after a bad fall at last week's final ski-jumping World Cup event of the season, his family said on Monday.

-It was great to arrive at the hospital early today and see that Daniel was awake and himself- the skier's family wrote on the Instagram account of the Norwegian ski jumping team, noting the "long and worrying days of waiting".

On Thursday, the 27-year-old lost his balance while in mid-air and travelling at more than 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in Planica, crashing uncontrollably to the ground.

He was rushed to hospital by helicopter, where he was intubated and mechanically ventilated, and placed in a coma.

Tande won the world ski flying title in 2018 and was a team Olympic gold medallist with Norway in Pyeongchang later that year.
