January 20th 2012 00:08
It is with great regret that we report: one of the finest
freestyle skiers in the sport is suffering through a serious
brain injury incurred during a practice session in Utah.
Sarah Burke, a four time Winter X Games champion and
a poster gal in many popular print ski publications, landed
the hard way during training. Sarah is currently receiving
excellent medical care.
Lest us never forget, skiing and snowboarding are wicked
dangerous activities--perhaps that's what attracts us to it?
At the competitive level, there is only a extremely fine edge
between victory and injury.
To win one must push the envelope of uncertainty, approach
the void of the unknown, as Sarah Burke did when she became
the first woman to successfully perform 1080s (a triple revolution
while airborne on skis in the lateral plane.)
All of us at Skiing Reviews are hoping and praying for Sarah's
full recovery.
