Downhiller recovers after crash

McCartney after crashing in Kitzbuehel American skier Scott Macartney has regained consciousness after a heavy crash in Saturday's World Cup downhill in Kitzbuehel, Austria.
The 30-year-old crashed at full speed at 88mph, slid 60m, lost his helmet and suffered spasms after losing his balance on the final jump of the run.
He was airlifted to hospital in Innsbruck and diagnosed with bruising to the brain.
Macartney did not require surgery and is expected to make a full recovery.
"Scott Macartney is feeling better," race organisers said in a statement.
He was "was brought out of the induced coma and his coaches report he is already making jokes again. He will stay in the clinic for further surveillance. He will fully recover."
Macartney has two podium finishes to his name, he was third in the Val Gardena World Cup downhill in December and in January 2006 finished second at the World Cup super-G at Garmisch in Germany.
Earlier in the week, several skiers were injured during training for the Hahnenkamm, most notably Austria's Andreas Buder.

He was fourth in the World Cup downhill standings before being ruled out for the rest of the season after undergoing surgery following his fall.
When racing resumed after a half-hour long delay, Swiss skier Didier Cuche won the event, with Austria's Mario Scheiber and Macartney's compatriot Bode Miller tying for second place.
US team-mate Marco Sullivan had to race not knowing how Macartney was.
He said: "It was hard to blank your head after seeing Scott's crash.
"I did not know anything about him being OK or not when I started. So under the circumstances, finishing sixth was OK for me.
"There are more important things to life than skiing."
The win took Cuche to the top of the overall standings and he leads the downhill rankings too, with Miller in second and Austria's Michael Walchhofer in third.
