Crash Monday at the Olympics

[CDSmith]

I don't think I've ever seen so many crashes, falls and dumps in one day of events. A couple of women lugers took wicked spills (and at the speed they fly down that ice run at, I do mean wicked), at least 3 women's skiers also had hard falls in the downhill, a couple of men's speedskaters hit the ice hard, and finally.... wow.... a figureskating pairs team from China took a bad slam on the ice... well SHE did anyway. He threw her into what was supposed to be a quad salchow, so she was pretty high up off the ice when things went wrong. I thought she was done the second I saw her hit, her leg splayed out in a weird way when she slammed down on the ice (and then slid into the boards) and it was just, well, bad.

But amazingly, after taking a few minutes to regain her composure they picked up where they left off and went on to win the Silver.

Some pretty cool crashes though, if you're into that sort of entertainment.
