Canadian freeskiing superstar Sarah Burke, a favorite to win the gold medal
at the 2014 Winter Olympics, was seriously injured Tuesday during a crash in
the halfpipe at Park City Mountain Resort in Utah.
The four-time X Games champion struck her head after a fall and was
airlifted to University Hospital in Salt Lake City. On Wednesday she
underwent a successful operation to repair a torn vertebral artery, which
resulted in an intracranial hemorrhage at the time of her fall.
William T. Couldwell performed the surgery and said it in a statement that
it was too early to offer a prognosis: "With injuries of this type, we need
to observe the course of her brain function before making definitive
pronouncements about Sarah's prognosis for recovery," Couldwell said. "Our
Neuro Critical Care team will be
monitoring her condition and response continuously over the coming hours and
days."
Burke's publicist issued this statement Thursday morning: "Sarah's family is
grateful for the overwhelming outpouring of support from around the globe.
Fans may continue to use Sarah's Facebook page to express their
wishes and receive updates."
Burke, a member of Canada's national freestyle skiing team, was resuscitated
on the mountain before being airlifted to University Hospital.
The Park City halfpipe is the same venue at which snowboarder Kevin Pearce
was critically injured while training for the 2010 Olympics on Dec. 31, 2009
. Pearce suffered traumatic brain injuries but has since recovered. Last
month he rode a snowboard for the first time since the accident.
There's nothing unique about the halfpipe but many top athletes train at
Park City. And as they continue to progress the sport and push each other--
Burke is the first female skier to have landed a 1080-degree rotation--the
likelihood of severe crashes increases.
Athletes have rallied behind Burke on social media platforms. Snowboarder
Louie Vito Tweeted:
"I want everyone to send positive vibes and prayers to @sarah_j_burke...
EVERYONE!!!!!"
Freeskier Tanner Hall chimed in: "SENDING ALL THE POSITIVE VIBES TO SARAH
BURKE RIGHT NOW."
Burke's husband, Rory Bushfield, told the Vancouver Sun: "Sarah is a very,
very strong human and she will be fine."
Burke, who is from Squamish, British Columbia, played a key lobbying role in
bringing women's freeskiing to the X Games, and to the Olympics. Men's and
women's halfpipe and slopestyle competitions will debut at the 2014 Winter
Games in Sochi, Russia.
In 2007 Burke was voted Best Female Action Sports Athlete at the annual ESPY
Awards. | O****e

发帖数: 3290 | 8 I have read a story about Kevin Pearce. He seems to have recovered to a
normal life after a serious head trauma but definitely not able to get back
to a competitive level. It was said he is the only one that was able to
challenge Shaun White.
May Sarah rest in peace.
