"The condition of champion Geelong triathlete Tameka Day has stabilized following her bike crash in France last weekend.
Day has been joined by husband Leigh Newberry, who arrived in Lyon yesterday morning. He was met by Warrnambool triathlete Kris McCartney and drove to Gap, where Day is in hospital. Gap is in the southeast of France, near the French Pyrenees.
Day is in a medically-induced coma following her race accident, in which she received a fractured skull, other severe injuries and abrasions. She was taken by helicopter to Gap and was conscious, on arrival but her condition worsened overnight and she was put in the coma. Day had been descending a hill during the bike leg of the Embrun triathlon last Sunday when the accident occurred. It is still not known what caused the crash. Her bike was broken in two on impact."
