KRAKOW, Poland — Ski jumper Jan Mazoch, who crashed last week at a World Cup event in southern Poland, will be gradually brought out of his medically induced coma.
    Doctors at a Krakow hospital are likely to take more than 10 hours to revive the 21-year-old Czech.
    “Another computer test was carried out and the result allowed doctors to decide to gradually bring the patient out of the induced coma,” hospital spokeswoman Anna Niedzwiedzka said Wednesday.
    “Tomorrow around noon we will be able to talk about the condition of the ski jumper after the coma-inducing medication has been discontinued.”
    On Saturday, Mazoch crashed in high winds and appeared to bounce off the hill during his second jump at the World Cup meet in Zakopane. He was taken to the local hospital and then transferred to another hospital in Krakow, where he was induced into a coma to control the swelling on his brain.
