U.S. downhill skier Lindsey Kildow was carried off the mountain after she was injured during a training run today. She landed on her back, hitting her head, after flying fifteen feet through the air. She was taken by helicoptor to a hospital in Turin. No other details were immediately available, but we will keep you updated. Please take a moment to offer a quick prayer for Lindsey, if you’re so moved.
Shortly before Lindsey was injured, defending Olympic champion Carole Montillet-Carles, of France, was also injured after hitting a protective fence. She was conscious but no other details were available.
Our prayers go out to both these athletes.
