Swiss snowboarder Nicolas Huber suffers vertebral fractures in China crash

Swiss snowboarder Nicolas Huber has suffered a serious back injury during qualifying for the season-opening Big Air event in China. The crash left him with two vertebral fractures, forcing an early end to his competition plans in the winter season.

The accident happened as Huber competed in the qualifying rounds. Medical checks confirmed fractures in two vertebrae, ruling him out of immediate action in the winter events.

The injury means Huber will miss multiple competitions this winter season. His focus will shift to recovery, with doctors monitoring his progress before any return to training. The timeline for his comeback remains uncertain.
