Morgenstern included in Austria delegation

Morgenstern was included in a 130-strong delegation, with Alpine skier Benjamin Raich, who will be taking part in his fourth Winter Games, bearing the flag.





Morgenstern was injured during a training accident at Bad Mitterndorf, Austria, on January 10 after he lost his balance in the air, turned over and landed on his back and head.

The 27-year-old, who won Olympic titles in the individual and team large hill events in Turin in 2006 and a team large hill gold in Vancouver in 2010, left hospital for a rehabilitation clinic and has begun light training.
