A scary scene unfolded on Thursday in Livigno.
Canadian Cassie Sharpe was removed from the ski halfpipe qualifier on a sled after taking a hard fall during her second run at Milano Cortina 2026.
Sharpe waved to the crowd she was removed from the hill.
The Canadian lost consciousness briefly but is currently in stable condition, Team Canada confirmed. Sharpe is being evaluated by Canadian medical staff.
She scored 88.25 points to sit third after her first run, putting her in a good position to qualify for the final if she is healthy. The medal round is scheduled for Saturday, giving Sharpe about 48 hours to recover.
Sharpe, the 33-year-old from Comox, B.C., is a two-time Olympic medallist, including gold in 2018 and silver in 2022.
She took a two-year break after Beijing, becoming a mom, before returning to competition.
