    Indeed, it was quite a fall, apparently. She was taken away on a stretcher.

    This person was well deserving of her appearance in the DFL website. Only practicing around 10-12days since Aug 2005, and gaining more than 25 lbs since last year, she was expected to place in that spot by her teammates.
    She was flown away by helicopter after her "injury" but was taking photographs with Shaun white later that night....
