 Russian freestyle skier Maria Komissarova has undergone more than six hours of surgery after breaking her back during a training run at the Winter Games in Sochi, the Russian Freestyle Federation spokesman said Saturday. Verzhba confirmed through a translator that Russian President Vladimir Putin visited Komissarova in the hospital Saturday night. The translator said Komissarova was conscious and spoke with the president. Doctors immediately rushed to assist Komissarova on the course of the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park after the incident and quickly decided she would need to undergo surgery immediately at the newly built hospital in Sochi's Krasnaya Polyana district. The federation has not commented on the nature of the injury other than to say it is "serious" and that Komissarova is ruled out of competition. Komissarova's best career result came with second place at a World Cup event in 2012, but she was not expected to be a medal contender in the women's ski cross competition Friday.
