Mishap in World Championship downhill
Scary moment for gold favorite Lara Gut-Behrami
That was close! Lara Gut-Behrami's World Championship downhill almost ended in a crash, the Swiss skier lost her balance just before the finish. The race was over for the 33-year-old, but thankfully no injuries were sustained.
A few gates before the finish Gut-Behrami was thrown off by a wave, she then lost contact with the piste with her left ski and landed with her buttocks on the snow.
The double world champion from Cortina was able to acrobatically avoid a fall, but missed the gate. She didn't have much chance of winning the gold medal at this point anyway, as she was already half a second behind the leading American Breezy Johnson.
