Canada's Cassie Sharpe receives medical assistance after crashing in the Olympic women's freeski halfpipe event (Jeff PACHOUD)
Former Olympic champion Cassie Sharpe was stretchered off the course during the women's halfpipe qualifiers at the Milan-Cortina Games on Thursday after suffering a heavy fall.
The 33-year-old fell during her second run, losing her skis and poles and lying motionless on the ice.
Medical staff came to her aid and treated her for about nine minutes before she was pulled off the snow on a stretcher. She briefly waved to the crowd.
The 2018 Pyeongchang Olympic champion, who took silver in Beijing four years ago, was firmly on track to qualify for the final at the time of her crash.
