Austrian skier Matthias Lanzinger will have his left leg amputated after breaking it during a World Cup race in Norway on Sunday.
Lanzinger crashed during the super-G race on the Olympiabakken course and finished in the safety net.
The Austrian ski federation said: "As a result of irreparable tissue damage an amputation to avoid lasting serious damage is unavoidable."
It said the operation would take place on Tuesday morning in Oslo.
