Ouch. I hope she has a fast recovery...
She put in a request to compete in the men’s downhill. Denied.
Tiger Woods will be at her bedside, holding her hand, shortly.
The posted jokes about her are out of line and show how far this site has devolved in the past 13 years........Not cool.
With that being said, any ski racing enthusiasts here remember Bill Johnson who won the Gold Medal in the downhill back in the 1984 olympics? His life has been a tragic story ever since.
In 1992 his 13 month old son drowned in a hot tub, his marriage ended in a divorce, and during a come-back attempt for the 2002 olympics, in 2001 he crashed and suffered extensive brain injury which requires constant care, being provided by his mother......
For the life of me I can't understand the jokes being made at her expense on this thread, they are uncalled for. Just further evidence on how far this site has devolved in terms of tolerance for this crap over the past 13 years...........
With that being said, are there any true ski racing enthusiasts reading this thread? If so, remember Bill Johnson, the downhill gold medal winner in the 1984 olympics? Here's an informative article on the tragedies he's endured since that gold medal day.....
Saw the video. Sad she broke it, I’ve seen worse crashes and the person was just shaken up. She must have hit that pole on the flag/gate just right. At least it wasn’t such a terrible break the leg looks terribly out of place.
