    STOCKHOLM, Feb 10 (Reuter) - Doctors said on Friday they would not know
    for several days, or even weeks, if Swedish Alpine skiing star Thomas
    Fogdoe would be paralysed after a training accident earlier this week.
    
    Fogdoe, World Cup slalom champion in 1993, was transferred to a normal
    ward at the University Hospital in Umea, northern Sweden, from the
    intensive care unit where he had been since he was admitted on Tuesday.
    
    Fogdoe was training with the rest of the Swedish downhill team at Are
    -- 300 kms from Umea -- when he entered a wood and apparently crashed
    into a tree, eye witnesses said.
    
    Goran Skog, the Swedish team doctor, told reporters the crash compacted
    vertebrae in the middle section of Fogdoe's spine. During an operation
    early on Wednesday, screws were inserted to re-position the affected
    vertebrae.
    
    Skog said experience from similar injuries in the past showed a range
    of possibilites are possible for Fogdoe, ranging from complete recovery
    to paralysis.
    
    Doctors said his chances of recovery would be clearer on Monday,
    although team officials said it appeared unlikely Fogdoe would compete
    again this season.
    
    The 24-year-old is in low spirits, said Skog.
    
    ``Rest is most important now, after the surgery. Only time will tell
    how things will turn out for Thomas,'' Skog said.

    Sorry to tell all of you that The swedish skistar Thomas Fogdoe is
    paralyzed after a luxation between his 11th and 12th vertebrae
    following his accident last week. He will probably not compete ever
    again.
