Who on NS saw those two girls eat it within 15 minutes of each other?! The first girl fell within 20 feet of the start gate, but the second! She ate shit on the biggest roller on the course! Than slid over 200 yards down the course, and her second ski came off and hit her right in the face! DAMN. The first skier was Marion Rolland from France, and the second Anya Raerson from Sweden.

both are okay

i thought for sure her knee was done after she flew 190 feet, you could see it buckle right after she took out the gate and her ski didn't release

yeah i know! and did you see the one that stayed on fly off and hit her in the face?! i guess no one is hurt, but still we've had too many accidents in the olympics as a whole this year, with not only down hill skiing but luge, etc.

they said there were no "serious" injuries, yet i doubt that there arn't any injuries, i mean shit if i flew 190 ft at 70mph i would atleast have lost a nut, and bruised my knees/shins/calfs/legs
