Today’s women’s snowboard slopestyle final (won by Jamie Anderson of the U.S.) took a scary turn when Czech Republic rider Sarka Pancochova took a hard fall in her second and last run.
Pancochova was in medal contention before the fall, which saw her head whip back and hit the slope. Medical officials quickly tended to her when her slide stopped, but after a few moments, Pancochova got back up and completed the run to the relief and cheers of the crowd at Rosa Khutor.
(UPDATE: Pancochova says she’s “all good”)
Afterwards, it was revealed that her silver helmet had actually split open thanks to the impact on the fall.
Pancochova wound up fifth on the strength of her first run of the final, which netted a score of 86.25.
