The family of leading Australia race caller Matt Hill has issued a statement in relation to the condition of the Sky Channel identity.

Hill has made "good progress" over the past couple of days and is fully conscious after coming out of a medically induced coma.

He remains in intensive care in a Hong Kong hospital and he will most likely be there for another few weeks.

Doctors have ordered complete rest for Hill and his family have requested privacy until further notice.

The Sydney based commentator was in Beijing to cover the rowing for radio station 2GB.
