Canadian freestyle skier Cassie Sharpe takes a heavy fall in the qualifying halfpipe final at the Winter Olympics in Italy.
The 33-year-old fell after landing a trick and hit her head hard on the ice pipe. Sharpe was treated for a long time and was carried off in a stretcher after around ten minutes. When she waved both arms and lifted her head slightly, the spectators cheered with relief. The extent of her injuries was initially unknown.
