Olympic gold medalist Stein Eriksen remains hospitalized with a severely broken wrist, broken collar bone and shoulder, according to a family friend.

The skiing legend, 80, was on the slopes with friends Sunday when he collided with another skier, according to Deer Valley spokeswoman Coleen Reardon.

Eriksen, who still holds the title of director of skiing at Deer Valley, was taken to University Hospital Sunday afternoon, according to family friend Mark O. Haroldsen. Surgeons operated on his severely broken wrist earlier this week, Haroldsen said.

It was previously reported that the Norwegian Olympian was treated and released from a Salt Lake City-area hospital. But Thursday, a University Hospital spokesman confirmed that Eriksen remains under care.

The injuries and surgery left Eriksen in a difficult state, Haroldsen said.
"He wasn't doing well. He was in and out of consciousness."

On Saturday, Eriksen celebrated his 80th birthday with 350 guests at a gala at the lodge that bears his name. A life-size bronze statue of skier was unveiled in front of the Stein Eriksen Lodge.

At the 1952 Winter Games in Oslo, Eriksen won the gold medal in the giant slalom and took silver in the slalom.

In 1997, he was knighted by the King Harald V of Norway. Eriksen has lived in Utah since the late 1960s.
