From the BBC.British skier Chemmy Alcott broke her leg when she crashed at high speed in downhill practice in Lake Louise in Canada on Thursday.
The 28-year-old landed badly after a jump in the tricky Coaches Corner section.
The Londoner was helicoptered off the mountain and taken to hospital in Banff where she is set to have surgery.
"It was brutal and the impact was serious. She broke her shin and another bone could be fractured," said race director John Cassel.
Starting from 50th position, Alcott went airborne over the first jump and never regained her balance.
That's terrible news. :cry:
Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery Chemmy!
